This was the logic in the Ference-Stuart trade that the Flames made.
They took a handshake agreement with Ference and spit on it and threw it in the trash and traded him to Boston.
Completely destroyed the locker room and culture in the team.
Took years to recover.
Real life NHL isn't like your XBox where there are no personalities or feelings that need to be considered. In real sports (any team management - regardless of the industry) there are real people who have real feelings, friends, and attachments.
If you are not going to be considerate of the people and their families that work for you then you are building something that is far worse than a team stuck in the middle of the standings.
