Which NHL player holds the most trade value?

Since this is about which player has the highest trade value, not who is the best player in the nhl ( Crosby, Stamkos etc) I think salary is a factor, along with age, and length of contract.

The players with the highest trade value ( realistically, because we know Crosby isn't getting moved) would probably be:

1. Claude Giroux at 3.75

2. John Tavares at 5.5

3. Milan Lucic at 4

4. Corey Perry at 5.3

5.Logan Couture at 2.8

6. Alex Edler at 3.25

7. Ryan Callahan at 4.275

8.Ryan Mcdonagh at 1.3

9. Dustin Brown at 3.175

10.Cal Clutterbuck at 1.4

11. Max Pacioretty at 4.5

In no particular order after Giroux, and again not the "best" players, but some that I think would have a very high value if they were ever available.

Note- There are obviously lots more players on entry level deals that are very desirable, didn't include them because of it being highly unlikely that they get moved.

Henrik Lundqvist, Quick or Schneider.

In ice hockey the goalie is by far the most important player, similar to a quaterback in football, but many disregard the position because they aren't as flashy as say a forward scoring goals like Crosby or Giroux.

Simply put, the best goalie in the NHL is more instrumental for the team's success than the best forward or best defenceman in the NHL. Lundqvist directly correlates to more wins and success for the Rangers than Stamkos did for Tampa Bay, or Giroux did for Philadelphia or even Malkin for Pittsburgh.

You take Malkin out of Pittsburgh and that team still has some forwards who can score, but you take Lundqvist out of New York and that team doesn't even make the playoffs - simple.

A forward plays 20 minutes a game for 82 games, a goalie plays 60 minutes a game for 60 games. Plus, the forward is only really involved in about 100 (if you're an elite forward) goals for, whereas the goalie is responsible for every goal scored against (on average, 2.3 GAA times 60 games is around 150 goals against), so 50% more important than forwards.
