Boils down to the competing offers. Do you want a top 3 protected CGY 1st, or an unprotected VGK 1st?

I don't know if there are limits to the longevity and complexity of conditions, but there are opportunities for both sides to mitigate risk (ie. BUF could seek protection against a pick 20 or higher).

If it came down to removing protections or adding another 2nd+prospect I'd do the latter.

I would imagine he doesn't give a crap since it's almost certainly a fan-made satire.

The 2nd turning out to be DAL's 61OA reduced the ultimate value, too.

I also wonder how much hype/expectation for both Valimaki and Brannstrom came simply from this deal?
