Often times they look to make a splash with a player they feel can make the roster better but he wasn't necessarily their first choice or their first choice is gone or they are unable to make the trade for them so they look at other options. To say that every single trade done by GM's is always calculated way way in advance I think is doubtful. I don't consider this winging it either. Its just trying to find the best option available at the time.
