Your point about an asset for trades is valid, though.

I don’t think a majority of GMs would trade a 2nd for him at this point. It’s good to try to improve the team and I’m sure he thought he would make a bigger impact on the team. However, I think a player of his caliber is easily acquired for less. Lazar is a waiver wire candidate in the making.
My point is I’m not impressed with Trelivings decision making in general (draft, coaching choice, asset management). If you are, that’s great. Calgary isn’t a relevant franchise due to the accumulation of all these bad decisions. Why are franchises like Nashville and Anaheim consistently good? I don’t think it’s luck.
