The Kipper trade wasn't a fleecing because at the time he wasn't a known commodity. It was a trade that turned out very good but at the time there wasn't a single person in the hockey community that thought it was a fleecing at the time of the trade. Sutter was only looking for a goaltender due to injury of Turek and had no idea that Kipper would be a long time solution.
