NHL GMs aren't as short-sighted and hysterical as fans. And they sure as heck don't base their valuations of players on the stories in the media.
And as already noted, there were all sorts of character questions about guys like Seguin and Carter before they were traded. Didn't stop them from being dealt. A lot of NHL players have big egos and don't like to listen to coaches. But talent is talent. And GMs and coaches are more inclined to think they can turn around attitude issues than conjure up elite talent out of thin air.
