US EditionK'Andre Miller Trade Grades: Hurricanes Banking on Return to Form From Star Defenseman After Deal with Rangers
- The Carolina Hurricanes bolstered their defense by acquiring K'Andre Miller in a sign-and-trade deal with the New York Rangers, sending a 2026 first-round pick, a second-round pick, and prospect Scott Morrow in return.
- The trade followed New York's reluctance to sign Miller to a long-term contract amid his regression over the 2024-25 season and the Rangers' signing of Vladislav Gavrikov earlier that day.
- Miller, a 25-year-old former Wisconsin Badgers player, reached a personal best by scoring 43 points during the 2022-23 season, but inconsistencies in his performance and defensive lapses prompted the Rangers to move on.
- Miller signed an eight-year, $60 million contract with Carolina, carrying a $7.5 million average annual value, while the Rangers gained a stable veteran in Gavrikov and young puck-moving defenseman Scott Morrow.
- The trade reshapes both teams' blue lines, with Carolina banking on Miller returning to form and New York improving defensive stability, though some risk remains for the Rangers if Miller fulfills his potential.
