And I still think that not protecting Gio was the right move, but the mistake he made there occured 3 months earlier.

He should have had the discussion with Gio at the trade deadline and if the plan wasn't to protect Gio then he should have moved him. I still think you could have gotten something valuable from Toronto who would have had a protection spot for him and he would have filled a need for them.
Was Toronto willing and able to take on that final year of the deal? I do agree with you if they would have been interested.
