No doubt he would contribute to a playoff run but again if you get compelling return and the market makes sense I think you need to make tough decisions sometimes. It depends on what the return there is.
Personally I think people who take a black and white dogmatic approach to asset management are looking at the trees and not the forest. It's not like I'm suggesting you give him away and Treliving has proven himself competent at trading assets.
And just to add- the most likely outcome in your scenario is Calgary keeps him and loses in the playoffs and then loses him in the offseason to free agency because if he has a season this year anything close to last year, the man is going to get paid. It's not like people don't know who he is. When Sidney Crosby is singing your praises I suspect others may notice his effectiveness as well.

When did Crosby sing his praises? ... not doubting, more curious as to what he said.
