Negan won't take out a prime contributor to his cause, he will take out the person who is the weakest.........and we all know who that is.

I can see this point. It would also allow the fan base to start hating Negan more and more before season 7 starts. But TWD doing cliffhangers is not without precedence;
- Season 1 ended on a cliffhanger; the CDC doctor whispering into Rick's ear, we didn't get to know what he said until the end of season 2
- Season 3 ended on a cliffhanger; what happened to Judith??
- Season 4 (I think it was season 4) ended on a cliffhanger; how would Rick et.al. escape from Terminus??
- Glenn's fate?!?!?! I think this was a big driver in how this season ended. Think about the fan's reaction to not knowing if Glenn was dead or alive. Debates raged across the interwebs, there was a bumper crop of dumpster memes, and Twitter almost broke down.
Now the producers have given the fan base something to debate for the next 6 - 7 months; who is dead and how does it effect the group?? They tosses us a fish and we are clapping like seals.
