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.

As New York makes moves to improve next season, top prospect Gabe Perreault is also aiming to make the NHL roster in the fall.

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.
