Gotta get picks/prospects.
Your best return is a late 3rd rd pick.

I think you're selling pretty low here. I'd say at least a 5th for Hinostroza who is on a cheap deal and having a solid year -- and you should definitely be able to get more for a retained Miller, especially when you're taking on the Gardiner cap dump.

Carolina actually NEED Gardiner to stay cap compliant. Plus, when he's healthy, he's a good player. They won't dump him

Why do they need him to stay cap compliant…?
