Half of these guys are waiver material, never mind legit top -6 talent.
If this Nygard kid has two feet and a heartbeat he'll get multiple extended stretches on the top line.

Half? You're being optimistic. Two of those players.... maybe three have value and would make it through waivers. Chiasson was a product of the system, I think 2/3 teams will still pass him by in free agency in the off-season.
