That has very little to do with evaluating a trade.
You assess the parts involved not the teams success.
You don't think that Mrazek, McBackup, Aho, TT, Nino, Slavin, Faulk and BrindAmour have something to do with it as well? Assessing a trade based on a teams playoff success or failure is ludicrous.
