Packaging him in a hockey trade was also a possibility.
Lots of different options. So saying 'it's the best he could have got' is kind of meaningless since we simply don't know that.

Another possibility is they try to get a bit more and end up with nothing. Given what we outsiders know there is just as much chance as that happening as them getting a better offer. I think that is the factor you are not considering in your evaluation. They got something quite close to what you had at least expected. There is risk that if they wait the market falls out and they get nothing. I am very happy they took a good offer and ran!
