Hmm...probably would have been easier not to trade away team chemistry (see: Rasmussen and Audette).

I'm not sure it was anything to do with trades. See Sharks losing 4 in a row after winning a lot at the start.
Audette was traded for Rita and it was clear winner long-term. And Hawks beat Flames 6-3 without Audette. Rasmussen didn't register a point in last 3 games with Hawks and was traded for Sami Salo in a very good moment.
Right now Hawks have MUCH better line-up than they had when Rasmussen-Knutsen-Audette-Jillson-Norstrom unit dominated CPHL. It's all about ultra-tough schedule and minor injuries that kept Bulis and McDonald out of line-up.
