In a vacuum, I concur, Niemi over Holtby. But Holtby and a 6th is worth more than Niemi and an 8th.
This is a very valid comment. It got me thinking further ahead - keeping Holtby over Niemi would mean Holtby against 6th round pick 2014/15 while Niemi would cost 4th rounder then...

Rask and Hall are given. I can keep both for a few years before their price becomes too steep.
