I'm a Toffoli fan but this price was a bit steep for my liking for a UFA. Madden, while small, is a very good prospect. The Canucks re-signing Toffoli to a reasonable contract would lessen the blow somewhat, but they didn't know that at the time of the trade so are taking a large gamble.
A legitimate contender making this trade would be passable, but an ordinary team doing this is not good. But, given it's the Canucks, I fully support this and any other ill-advised moves they make.
