I strongly believe that Gio's number should go to the rafters and not as a lame "Forever a Flame" thing. Give the man his full due.

But this isn't a bad outcome. A bad outcome would have been giving into Seattle's demands.

My hopes in orders were
1. Gio stays with a small price paid to Seattle (e.g. a third) - but this became very unlikely clearly
2. Gio goes and the cap room is created
3. Worst outcome: The Flames give up a big price to keep him.

So this is probably the best of the realistic scenarios.
