Sometimes this idea rattles around in my head and reminds me of my arguments on the Doug Gilmour trade.
Calgary won the DG trade because they got players who would play on the ice and internal budget relief in exchange for a guy was never setting foot on CGY ice as a Flame again.
CGY won the Tkachuk trade because we got 3 guys who will play for a long time in CGY for a guy who was out the door.
