K'Andre Miller Returns to MSG With Hurricanes, Remains Out With Lower-Body Injury

Carolina committed $60 million over eight years after a sign-and-trade, citing his size and skating as an ideal fit for Rod Brind'Amour's system.

Overview

  • He took the morning skate at Madison Square Garden in a regular practice jersey but did not play as he continues his recovery.
  • Miller said the slower pace in Raleigh has helped reset his confidence after an uneven finish to his Rangers tenure.
  • The Hurricanes acquired him in a sign-and-trade and immediately signed him for eight years at $60 million after Rangers GM Chris Drury chose to move on for draft assets and prospect Scott Morrow.
  • He opened the season strongly for Carolina with two goals on opening night and four points in his first six games.
  • Coach Rod Brind'Amour and teammates praised his reach, skating and decision-making, projecting a seamless fit in the Hurricanes’ up-tempo approach.
