Considering they would want one of Bennett or Brodie included in the deal, giving up a large unwanted salary (for a guy who wanted to come to Calgary badly and who can control where he wants to go) plus some "stuff" is the complete opposite of what Colorado wants.
You basically gave them a bunch of guys you consider completely expendable.
It's surely the way to build a contender, and its the reason trades like this only get completed on a posting board.
If trades like this occurred, 16 teams would be perpetual playoffs teams, and 16 teams would be perpetual lottery eligible.
