A is Josh Jooris, B is Ferland. One gets scratched and barely plays, the other is somehow untouchable because of one six game stretch where he played well.

Player A is Taylor Hall. Player B is a mighty sequoia. One is dumb as a tree and the other is, well, a tree. Relevance? PPG is a bad indicator of the quality of a hockey player.
The whole thing about trade value is recognizing when allayed has achieved peak trade value and moving him then. Calgary GMs have been historically bad at this. Treliving should have moved a couple of the vets this past summer after career years, especially after acquiring Hamilton. Timing is everything and Treliving missed the opportunity to get maximum return. Now he just has to take what he can get and move on.
