K'Andre Miller is reportedly joining a new squad after spending the first five years of his career with the New York Rangers.

The Carolina Hurricanes are reportedly acquiring defenseman K'Andre Miller from the New York Rangers. Miller, who is an RFA this offseason, is also going to be signing an extension with Carolina as part of the trade too. UPDATE: According to USA Today reporter Vince Mercogliano, the return to New York is expected to center on draft picks.

The Rangers have sent K'Andre Miller to the Hurricanes in a trade just after signing Vladislav Gavrikov in free agency.

This is the place to keep track of all the latest news and information regarding the Blueshirts as NHL free agency opens at noon on July 1.

Gavrikov, 29, signed a contract for $49 million over 7 years with the New York Rangers on Tuesday, leaving the Kings with a gaping hole in their defense corps above the one left by the trade of Jordan Spence to the Ottawa Senators for draft picks last Saturday.

The New York Rangers signed Vladislav Gavrikov — considered the top defensive free agent available after three seasons with the Kings — to a seven-year contract.
