Staal costed a 2nd for the Rangers to dump him. Why do we see obvious salary dumps demanding more of a return than they should? Holl from Toronto has a 3 year contract @ $2 mil each and Toronto wants a mid draft pick for him? Winnipeg does not want that contract period. Lots of UFA's out there that are better than Holl at no cost.

Holl is not a dump. Anyone trading him to dump his contract is nuts.

2 mil is totally fair...

Anyone who trades Holl away is a goober. He pairs well with Muzzin and they just signed him.

Because this is a public platform that any half wit with an internet connection can access that has 0 restrictions on trades that could be performed or proposed - essentially I could aquire Laine from Winnipeg and only send a smart comment over like "a weekend pass for Chevy to Canada's Wonderland" and nothing on this site could stop me.

Marc Staal was literally like the 3rd worst defenceman in the entire league last year making 6 million, that's why he costed assets. Justin Holl is a pretty decent bottom pair guy and is cheap, so he doesn't have negative value

For a cap strapped team, Toronto shouldn't have a 2M dman on the 3rd pairing.

Jack Johnson & Seabrook, I’d guess out of full-time NHL defensemen this past year.
