His personality doesn't lend itself to being a mentor so far as I can see.

Kolzig was traded in '09, but I think by that age, he was pretty much just an anchor that was being shipped out.
The Blue Jackets also shipped out Leclaire the same year, but he probably wouldn't be considered a comparable to Kiprusoff.
In 2008, Huet was traded for a 2nd, but again, not Kiprusoff level probably.
The last one close may have been Roloson to the Oilers. Aging goaltender, starter level. He had netted a 1st and a conditional 3rd (which was given).
