This is about confidence, not about trade history. I'm of the view that Sutter literally saved the franchise with his early trades, most notably Kiprusoff. But after the Phaneuf and Kotalik disasters, I had 0 confidence in him. The earlier trades meant squat.
Similarly, I don't think that the Glencross trade, as good as it was four seasons ago, has any bearing on my confidence today. I think he's been an average 3, but if someone viewed him at a 2 or 4, I think that's fair.
