With only 1.5 years left, there are tons of players who have more trade value based on their skill level and contract.
Monny and Johnny come quickly to mind. Hamilton likely also.
You are correct, contract plays heavily into a players trade value, but 1.5 years until UFA, when at the age of 31 he'll want to be paid and paid heavy. His next contract will likely be a buyers remorse one.
