Enough trolling this lackluster headine, who do you guys think will be your strongest piece of trade bait come the deadline? Trading Hertl while his stock is high should certainly be considered.

I think Labanc is probably the low hanging fruit when it comes to trade bait.
Burns is another possible trade chip. I believe he has a limited NTC, but I think if it's between being exposed to Seattle or a chance to be traded to a contender, he might opt to waive. I think Wilson is pretty much going to be forced to lose one of the big 3 contracts on defense, and Burns is the only one that's easily moveable.
I think the offer would have to be pretty outstanding for Wilson to consider trading Hertl or Meier.
Guys I'm sure Wilson would love to trade but between their regression and contracts (and NTCs) they're probably immovable: Vlassic and Jones.
I'm curious if Wilson were to move Burns and say Hertl - if other guys with NTC/NMC would consider waiving those. Then maybe someone like Kane.
