If you aren't trying to win under those circumstances... When are you?
Flames have made numerous terrible asset management choices over the past 30 years. Keeping Gio after the Norris season and finishing 1st wasnt one of them

They got smashed by Colorado in the 1st round, got swept by Anaheim a couple years prior, and got smashed by Anaheim a couple years before that. The book was out on this team in terms of their inability to get results in the playoffs. Quit pretending it wasn't.

Nice strawman. You have to look at each situation on a case by case basis. Sometimes moving a player who had a career year makes sense. Other times it doesn't.
