Rangers GM's 'Excited' Message on K'Andre Miller's Replacement originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Rangers were left with little choice once restricted free agent defenseman K’Andre Miller declined to re-sign with the team.

K’Andre Miller kept his phone off and avoided social media in recent weeks with his future uncertain after five seasons with the Rangers. Now, he’s eager to jump into the Hurricanes’ aggressive system.

K'Andre Miller was traded to the Carolina Hurricanes by the New York Rangers on Tuesday before signing an eight-year, $60 million contract. It has an average annual value of $7.5 million.
