Our team clearly isn't concerned about fans objecting to trades. The idea that you never ever sell high on a player sounds like bad business to me. But I do agree that Chiarelli doesn't.
|
That isn't the point. If a player is having a great season, no team is going to dump him. That just isn't the Oilers, that's all teams. The Flames are going to miss the playoffs, there is clearly something wrong with the mix. Other than Gaudreau and Monahan, maybe Tkachuk, there isn't a ton of scoring depth. Gaudreau is going to score close to 90 pts this year. So is value will be sky high. So if the Flames don't trade him, does that make the GM stupid?

There are lots of times when guys having great seasons are dealt. Tampa Bay got Ben Bishop for Cory Conacher when Conacher was scorching hot. The Hossa/Heatley deal came with both players doing well. There are LOTS of examples out there if you care to look. GMs should not be concerned about the fan reactions when making trades. They should make trades that improve their team - and selling when a guy is peaking is one way to do that...especially if you think other people overvalue him given a hot season.
Your argument of Gaudreau isn't relevant here. You shouldn't trade ALL your players who've had a good year. You should assess your needs and what you have and what other people are willing to pay for what you have. At the point where they're paying more than what you think they should, then you consider a deal - although it still can't be done in a bubble. You have to examine what you have and what you need and how it will impact your team. No one ever said the job of a GM was easy.
If you want a good example of this, look at Sam Gagner. His second last season was the lockout-shortened year. He was almost a point a game player and MacTavish talked about him as part of the core (even though he was heading in to an arbitration case). The Oilers were chock full of smaller, young forwards, and Gagner almost certainly had real value after his year under Krueger.
The Oilers inked him to a deal and avoided arbitration, promising the player in the media that he wouldn't be traded ahead of his NMC kicking in.
Then he had a terrible season. His face was destroyed by Kassian in training camp, he rushed back from injury, he had Dallas Eakins as his soul-destroying coach and he slumped to his worst ever season.
The Oilers THEN traded him to Tampa Bay for a guy who was going to get bought out anyhow in Teddy Purcell.
While I realize we have the benefit of hindsight now, when SHOULD have the Oilers traded Sam Gagner? (For the record, I was advocating trading him after that lockout season).
