You may want to see that route taken more often, but I don't see it being a route that is possible in most cases when you are talking about guys like Sieloff or Ramage.
Plus what you describe IS what they did with Sieloff. They moved him for a guy that had fallen out of favor with the Sens.

Right you are. I forgot he was part of the Chiasson package.
I would like to see more of those deals. I do agree that most prudent GM's would Pursue that option before releasing a player, that said, we've seen some pretty questionable moves or non-moves throughout the years to make a person have doubts.
As for Duclair, I think we have a few guys in our D ranks that could fit that type of trade scenario in Morrison, Wotherspoon, Culkin.. Etc. combined with a mid to late round pick.
Jayswin, All the "do not wants" and "underachiever" comments regarding Duclair, I'm not sure how you can misconstrue what I'm saying and call it unfair bias to the Flames. It would be a pretty sensible deal for both sides if Duclair has truly fallen out of favour.
Edit: I meant Kenny Morrison, not Josh morrisey
