Really the issue in the past was more that we've missed on goalies than we've traded them away.

Kidd over Brodeur
McDonald over Demko
Kidd over Brodeur was the right call at the time. Kidd was one of the best prospects to come along in a long time. And at the time he was more highly touted than Brodeur.
Didn't work out that way - but the Kidd over Brodeur thing is one of the classic examples of the benefits of hindsight.
