Overall, a downgrade on asset value without much of a contractual benefit.
Sorry, what was the downgrade in asset value? Trade was not 1 for 1.

I disagree that development has plateaued, he was clearly being held back by being paired with Hamonic, and was much better with Andersson. Those two could be the Flames' top pairing next season, if Gio's apparent decline continues and if Brodie is not re-signed or replaced with someone comparable.
