The Carolina Hurricanes will give defenseman K'Andre Miller an eight-year, $60 million contract in a sign-and-trade with the New York Rangers, multiple reports said Tuesday.

The Rangers will receive defenseman Scott Morrow and conditional first- and second-round draft picks from Carolina in the deal, the New York Post reported.

Miller, 25, has played five seasons for the Rangers since being selected in the first round (22nd overall) of the 2018 NHL Draft. An All-Rookie Team selection in 2020-21, Miller has amassed 132 points (36 goals, 96 assists) and a cumulative plus-49 rating in 368 career games.

He tallied seven goals and 20 assists for New York in 74 games last season, which ended with disappointment as the Rangers missed the playoffs and fired Peter Laviolette.

Morrow, 22, has played in 16 games for the Hurricanes (including four last season) and has totaled one goal and five assists.
