Do players like Hanowski, Agostino, Reinhart even have any value? I would venture a guess that nobody would claim them on waivers. Every team has a bunch of guys like that, so why would they want ours? Same goes for pretty much all of our D prospects I think. If your upside is bottom pairing, you probably have no trade value, as those guys are easy enough to pick up (see Schlemko).
If you actually want to try to acquire something useful in a trade, you have to give up something of value to the other team. If it doesn't hurt us to give up the player, you can assume he has little to no value...
