With the flat cap, and so many teams close to the cap, they "trade value" of these type of players is really low..if you don't expect any cap back in return
Fact is teams can spend 5.5m better than having Drouin on the roster, so IMO his trade value is just a mid round pick, even if you can find a team that wants him $$ and term
Armia...there are lots of Armia types out there either as UFAs or teams would just want to offload for cap purposes...so his trade value is low too
Denault is the highest values player....maybe a late first for desperate team wanting a centre. But his one year till UFA, only goes to a contending team.
