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.

Would you trade Monahan for Greg McKegg if it guaranteed the Flames a Stanley Cup next season? Based on what you've said that would be a bad trade because on-ice success means nothing when evaluating a trade, even though I thought the whole point was to win.

You missed the meat of that post.
