Every other team has 2-3 guys that they would like to protect and would likely get chosen before Gio if the Kraken had the option.
Where would Dube and Backlund be in a raw ranking of players available?
Pittsburgh: Marino, Petterson, Zucker and Brandon Tanev
There are very few teams that have only one option for the Kraken to pick and has a 6.75 cap hit
Further, the only not eligible guy that has NHL experience on the Flames that would be of interest is Valimaki.
Almost everyone else has guys on their ELC playing prominent roles in the NHL that did not need to be protected.

I can't believe I'm even replying to you, but if you're going to compare the Ladd deal to what Gio is worth you lose all credibility
