Look at Stone and Kadri right now...he obviously evaluated they properly but geography got in the way.

Kadri thought if he blocked the trade to Calgary, he wouldn't get traded at all. He and his agent drastically mis-read the situation.
The day before the deadline the Flames had a deal set for Mark Stone, but Vegas came back the next morning and dangled Erik Brannstrom and the Flames wouldn't put Andersson or Valimaki in their deal.
Neither is a geography issue.
