I think Hamhuis, Polak and Weise are all valued too high on that list.
Saying Weise is worth more than Hudler is just ridiculous. He's a third line checking forward. Say what you will about Hudler, but he's a lot better than that. Especially as of late, and every previous year.
Also, Drouin would be a different kind of trade than the rest of the list. Eriksson and Boedker are likely to stay with their teams IMO.
If you exclude the people that are likely to stay with their teams, or bring back a different type of return, I think the ranking would be more like:
1. Ladd
2. Staal
3. Hudler
4. Russell
5. Weise
6. Hamhuis
7. Polak
