Than why did a team like Nashville hold onto Dan Hamhuis back in 2009 as they were essentially fighting for 8th place that year? Forget the Nashville drafts and develops arguement....they held a player that they were unable to sign and did not get maximum value for him. When was the last time a team inside the playoff top 8 at the deadline sold a player off?
Outside the playoff picture is a different story, but also remember that trading players with NTC's during the season is not the same as trading a guy with no trade blocking rights either. That's what gets me about those who always say Iginla should have been traded 4 years ago at the deadline. Where is the logic in that thought process?
