Active Trade Deadline

Where's the value for Toronto in that trade? Holl and Miller are basically comparables in their impact on the ice. Why would they ever trade a top prospect as well as a pick to swap for such little value between players? The deal is laughable.

So the 2nd for Miller at 50% retention as a rental and to take Hall, it’ll cost Nick Robertson?

Canes pass. There is no need to rush and acquire a useless piece just for them to get waived. Pysyk isn’t that good to begin with, and Chatfield has proved he can handle an NHL workload, and the Canes will just run Chatfield until DeAngelo gets back.

with Miller at 50% retained salary and them taking Holl its cheaper for Toronto plus gets rid of Holls contract next year as well

So Toronto gains what I would argue is a better player for cheaper, in which they save money this year and next year
Buffalo gains more cap space (they need it) and a prospect, Robertson was the first guy that came to mind, Im more than willing to say that it would cost less than him for that. I personally (and I know I'm in the minority) am not sure if Robertson ever gets close to that potential he was once given

I saw somewhere suggesting the Canes are looking to add Defense. Pysyk can go anywhere really...

Edit: Deangelo is also currently not listed as IR according to the canes page
