While that is true, as long as the players being moved are sought after commodities, there will always be a good market.
Which is the big problem here. How many of Calgary's players are really sought after commodities?
None of them are particularly cheap. None have much term left. All are coming off of poor years for them.
We know that Johnny's and Monny's names were floated about last off season and Calgary wasn't happy with the return offered. Those offers won't be any better this year with one less year of term and poor performances. I'm not convinced that Calgary could actually move Monny without taking back a poor contract of some sort. He's currently playing less than his cap. He'll need to prove himself productive (which I think means healthy) to get any type of return.
I can'r see Calgary being able to change up its core by trading its exiting players for a new core that is productive today. A guy like Johnny is more likely traded for a top prospect IMO.
