Great yet another metaphor.
Since your fond of them I'll relate another equally valid metaphor, cribed from yours...
You run a company and have a good worker who has been with you off and on for a long time, you think he has good report with your other employees, and he is a veteran of the business, he has informed you he is leaving in 3 months. Your company is in a state that this employee will not be able to increase your revenue in those three months. By the grace of a new crazy labor law, you are able to trade your expiring employee to a competitor for another crack at the pool of student resumes. Fortunately you still have several good workers who have also been with you a long time none of whom are planning to leave anytime soon.
Do you...
A) Keep your expiring worker and let him help train his replacement(s) for the short time before he goes even though there are several others who can already do this training (including several whose actual primary job is to train new talent which is not your departing employee's job) regardless of whether that employee is here or not and the amount of time he'll actually be able to spend imparting knowledge is extremely limited as he is using his allotment of vacation time and the three months is actually only going to be about a month and a half of actual work and most of the new employee's will only be there a week or two.
B) Get extra shots at the resume pile?

So... you think Garth Snow would be thought of more highly if he had not traded Vanek and then Vanek proceeded to sign with the Wild? Really? Snow would have been racked harder over the coals if he'd done that IMO.

So you think Treliving would have ended up paying more for Bollig if Burke had traded Cammy for the best deal offered at the deadline?
