Luongo should have netted more than potential. He should have had a known commodity in return.
I don't think the issue is it was Luongo for Markstrom. It's the fact that there is no big piece coming back. Then the secondary player (Markstrom) becomes the primary and even if he turns out there is no known commodity for insurance incase he doesn't.
Gillis should have got something to help the team now (even if only grit and leadership to help with the rebuild).
