from Scott Cullen of TSN,
In Tuesday’s column, I set out the parameters for ranking the Top 50 NHL players in terms of trade value.
After listing numbers 50 through 26 in the first installment, there’s little need for more preamble before getting right into the top 25.
#25
Player: Miikka Kiprusoff
Position: G
Team: Calgary Flames
Age: 31
Contract Expires: 2014
Salary Cap Hit: $5.833M
Comment: His numbers have declined every year he’s been in Calgary, but Kiprusoff has won 121 games over the last three seasons and is still in the upper echelon of NHL goaltenders.

I haven’t read the full article(s), but I think part of the author’s criteria is that the player has to have a long-term contract to maximize their one-for-one trade value.

Ilya Kovalchuk at #47? A 25 year old superstar who has two years left on a contract that looks pretty reasonable now. And there are 46 players in the NHL worth more than him?
