Rangers trade K’Andre Miller to Hurricanes amid free agency

The New York Rangers are making massive changes to their blue line as free agency opens. They started by giving Vladislav Gavrikov a seven-year deal worth $7 million per season. Minutes later, the Rangers sent 25-year-old defenseman K’Andre Miller to the Carolina Hurricanes in a trade. Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman was among the insiders to break the news.

“Hearing NYR working on sending K’Andre Miller to Carolina,” Friedman reported. TSN’s Chris Johnston reported the same.

The Rangers drafted Miller 22nd overall in the 2018 NHL Draft. After a disastrous season across the board, new coach Mike Sullivan and GM Chris Drury are making wholesale changes to the blueline. That includes Miller, who goes to a division rival in the Hurricanes.
