Indeed it's rare...I think it’s a pipe dream. When was the last time this happened? I know it’s re-sign and not resign, typing from my phone and just didn’t bother to correct.
I agree with everything else you say, I just don’t think trades like this happen very often. We, as fans talk about these moves like this and sign and trades all the time. They seldom materialize.
Trading every good vet is how we become the Buffalo Sabres, a team in rebuild mode forever.
It did happen with us not that long ago, and not to any success (Plekanec). I'm too lazy to dig around for the other cases, but it's not as far fetched as you suggest imo.
