Fantasy Hockey: With Patrick Kane dealt, here are the players we want moved by the NHL trade deadline
Here's a list of players whose fantasy values could get a boost if they're moved by the NHL trade deadline. Greenway can play up and down the lineup, but the big fantasy boost will come from an improved shooting percentage. Miller, C/LW/RW, CanucksAfter Chychrun, Miller has the most fantasy value on this list. Though his output has dipped this season, he's still in the top 50 in scoring and averaging close to a point per game. Also note that since acquiring Beauvillier and Kuzmenko, Miller hasn't shared the ice very often with star center Elias Pettersson at even strength, capping his fantasy value with the Canucks.
