Quoting: drambui
but if you draft someone with a pick, and then he gets injured the year later, and cant conitnue his career, do.you get something? so its safer to never do any trade right, because hypoteticly it might turn bad is what you are saying. makes 100% sense, dont trade for any players because they might get injured, dont get draft pick, because you could draft someone and they could get injured, dont sign any free agent, because they can get injured. yeah i get it, its smart to think hypotechly like that...
and you know, maybe he doesnt have negative value.

You're really missing the point. Don't trade for negative contracts without getting some picks back. Vegas was in a tough position and you just helped them for free. Didn't cost them anything.
"and you know, maybe he doesnt have negative value."
If he had positive value they would've traded him for a pick.
