Anything they get for Gio would not likely have come to us anyways as I dont see us missing the playoffs next year.

The asking price is inherently silly.
There is tremendous variation in the value of 1st round picks.
Calgary's annual 12th to 16th overall pick is worth much more than Tampa's annual 31st pick. Edmonton's annual #1 pick is worth even more, at least until Edmonton uses it.
Of course Calgary wouldn't give a mid to high 1st for protection. That's crazy.
Would they honestly expect a 1st and a 3rd from Buffalo?
My point: it's silly to have a set asking price. It has to be team-by-team.
