Overview

  • Carolina has acquired K’Andre Miller through a sign-and-trade, agreeing to an eight-year, $60 million extension with a $7.5 million annual cap hit.
  • New York secured 22-year-old defenceman Scott Morrow, who appeared in 14 games for Carolina last season and tallied a goal and five assists.
  • The Rangers also received top-10-protected first- and second-round picks in the 2026 draft, with the first-round selection set to be the better of Carolina’s or Dallas’s pick.
  • Miller, a former second-round pick by New York in 2018, posted seven goals and 27 points in 74 games last season while averaging nearly 22 minutes of ice time.
  • The move allows Carolina to lock down a rising young blueliner; New York gains assets to advance its blue-line rebuild following a playoff absence.
