It would seem to me maybe so, but wouldn't the sanctioning body of whatever league/association that has authority on the team have a problem with a team that has gotten into alot of fights in one season or portion of one season?
I think the punishment of not being allowed to participate in the future (or in postseason play, etc...) would outweigh the advantage of trading the other team’s best player for your goon.
But that coach wouldn't be the first coach to try to get an advantage through that or a similar method.
