No NHL GM is that foolish. Otherwise he wouldn't be in the NHL.
To think that one GM wouldn't want to make a trade with another team/GM simply because a previous trade didn't work would be utterly short sighted.
These guys are smart enough to know the risks of the trades they are making. Further, they evaluate each trade on its own merits. If any GM, or hockey personel, would not make a trade based simply on the outcome of a previous trade one year ago, he should be fired. The Caps window to win is now. They are looking for assets to help them win a cup, if the Flames have an asset that helps the Caps, I'm certain they won't give a damn about Curtis Glencross or that second round pick they gave up a year ago.
If Brian McClellan is scared of making a trade with the Calgary Flames, he shouldn't be an NHL GM.
