Also, well managed teams don't have to be horrible for 5 years. Keep certain pieces, sell others. Draft high this year.

Like - if we're talking about trading Gaudreau and Giordano it's not going to crater this team. If we're talking about adding Monahan in there, it's also not cratering this team. They aren't team-making pieces, in fact one could make a good argument that the cap we spend on those players being freed up, mixed with the assets we'd return would make us a better team IF the cap-space is used properly.
Cap space is a huge challenge for most teams. The pandemic has reduced revenues dramatically and taking on 6 and 7 million players without trading out the equivalent is not feasible.

Most of the time you will be offered/taking back other teams highly paid problems, not high end young players and /or draft picks.

Very tough trade market
