The Carolina Hurricanes have issues a shocking statement on their newest addition of K'Andre Miller after he was traded to their organization by the New York Rangers in a sign-and-trade deal on July 2nd.
The Carolina Hurricanes have up quite the bit of equtiy in order to land 25-year old K'Andre Miller, catching some Rangers fans offguard with what general manager Chris Drury seemingly hauled in.
Miller, who was a restricted free agent, earned the Rangers a second-round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft, a conditional first-round pick in the 2026 or 2027 NHL Draft and defenseman Scott Morrow, who is considered a highly touted prospect in the Rangers pipeline already.
With such great value given up by Hurricanes general manager Eric Tulsky, you would expect head coach Rod Brind'Amour to be on the same page.
But it seems far from it...

Miller quickly earned an eight-year, $60 million contract with an AAV of $7.5M, and they also brought in free agent Nikolaj Ehlers on a six-year deal worth $8.5 million AAV.
When asked about the teams decisions, the head coach, who's also a former longtime NHL forward, made his feelings known once again and double downed with another underwhelming comment.
From an outside standpoint, it's quite clear K'Andre Miller won't be their saviour to their playoff struggles.
He is a 25-year old defenseman, that had a rough time blooming in the big apple.
«We haven't got over the hump, but it's better to have a chance than no chance,» he said.
