Thread: John Tavares Miller
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lochness1202</b></div><div>Just because it’s 2 of your 3 best prospects doesn’t really mean anything if they don’t have value. Niemela is definitely a good prospect and one that would be covered by 90% of teams but Robertson doesn’t have that much value. Many teams would have a player like him so I don’t think Vancouver would see that as a must have. The picks are what they are…holl is worthless in a trade and Kerfoot is who he is.

It’s not so much about value but about the needs that this fills for Vancouver and I don’t think fills a need.</div></div>

Robertson is arguably Toronto's best prospect. The Athletic had him as the #28 nhl prospect (just behind Krebs and Sanderson) so if you think he doesn't have value, that's foolish. I get that Vancouver needs to upgrade their blue line, but that doesn't mean good forward prospects don't have "value"

Thread: John Tavares Miller
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lochness1202</b></div><div>Why the double retention when miller and holl both contracts expire at same time? Why not just retain 250k on holl???
Do you check contracts before posting stuff?

And Vancouver says no easily</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>The_Rocket</b></div><div>Pretty awful package for miller. Don’t get why the Canucks do this</div></div>

I'm not sure if the post has been edited since these comments, but what more would you want? 2/3 of torontos top prospects, roster player to replace Miller's spot, 1st and a 2nd, and a throw away to make the money work. This is a better package than Eichel got. As a leaf fan I wouldn't do this trade even if you tookout Kerfoot and Niemela, although that would be a pretty close to value trade.
