It's a completely different way of looking at who should be traded.
Iggy is good, but a depreciating asset. That makes trading him especially important. We don't want him to end up like Kipper, who is propably a lost asset at this point.

My goodness, people get so down on players so fast in Calgary. Kipper has had a slow start this season yes, but all elite goaltenders go through slumps in their career. This would only be a quarter of the way through a regular season and kipper has missed almost half of it.
Give the guy a break or be proven wrong when Kipper returns to form.
