- Iginla's value is obviously deflated being a UFA and having a mediocre year (by his standards).
- Mark Giordano was still a productive defenseman last year and he's taken a huge step back this year.
- Olli Jokinen was having a very good season and we let him walk for nothing.
You can't simply look at what assets went up in value without considering the flip side.

It's been pointed out 1 million times already, but Olli Jokinen declined to be traded. It was his choice and he said no.
