Grass is always greener on the other side.

Columbus traded Rick Nash away, haven't had anything to show for it since. Calgary traded Tkachuk away, haven't had anything to show for it since. I'm sure there are many trades of prominent players that dont work end up working out for the team. You only see the results of the successful ones. Something something survivorship bias.

Canucks traded Luongo, Kesler, Burrows, Bieksa, then had Horvat, Boeser, Pettersson, and franchise d-man Quin Hughes leading the way. A promising young team, just like how the Sharks, Blackhawks, and Ducks, look right now.
