His poor performance the prior 2.5 seasons, the red flags, and awful playoff performance and you are trading him at a all time low value.
Keeping him everyone won in the end even if we didn't get the job done. We finished 1st in our division won a round, if our goalie didn't have a complete meltdown we probably make it to round 3 and who knows. Johnny had a career year that hasn't been seen in a long time, cashed in.
We trade him for Morgan Frost and a 1st and we are probably picking in the lottery.
