Good Selling Trades

from Ryan Dixon of the Hockey News,
Instead, let’s take a look at how some deadline deals from 2007 have benefited the “sellers” now that there’s been some time for the dust to settle.
Everybody tends to track the progress of the stars who get swapped, but some of the names that were initially meaningless to fans have become much more household in nature.
Daniel Carcillo, Phoenix
It was a tough-guy-for-younger-tough-guy swap when the Coyotes shipped Georges Laraque to Pittsburgh for Carcillo. But the 23-year-old Carcillo can play, too. He scored 13 goals last year, while leading the league with 324 penalty minutes – in just 57 games! – and many believe he’ll develop into an ice sheriff capable of kicking in 20-plus goals a season.

Carcillo is also an idiotic thug who was absolutely hated by the Penguins management, team members, and coaches.
So a player no one wanted for a player who was well liked and kicked plenty of ass himself sounds like a much better trade than they make it sound like.
By the way read up a couple posts and you’ll see that Carcillo was just suspended for being an uncontrollable idiot…. I mean an altercation with Ben Eager.
