Very few goalies have ever been traded for a significant asset. Off the top of my head Luongo, Schneider, Varlamov are the only ones I can think of. And they were top young goalies when they were dealt

Agreed. Goalies who are average on the ice and good in the room (and probably more plentiful) are going to be more desirable than those who are streaky and bad in the room.
