The Rangers signed Gavrikov to a seven-year, $49 million contract. New York then acquired defenseman Scott Morrow, a conditional first-round draft pick and a 2026 second-rounder in trading Miller, a restricted free agent and potential candidate to attract an offer sheet.
The Hurricanes signed the 25-year-old Miller to an eight-year, $60 million contract, at a time they expect to lose blue-liners Dmitry Orlov and Brent Burns to free agency.
The Rangers also re-signed restricted free agent forward Will Cuylle to a two-year contract worth $7.8 million, according to a person familiar with the deal who spoke on condition of anonymity because it had not been announced.
