The GM should be trying to upgrade talent on the team every single day. If they get a chance take it they might not get it again. Two years is a long time. Team moves in the right direction, he gets a great role, likes the city and his teammates maybe he stays. If not sell him at the deadline. Risk yes but I want the GM to take risks. Holding on to prospects is also a risk. Proven talent/best player in the deal is the better path
Edit: obviously you don't take a truly stupid deal to do this
