The main argument at the time from what I recall was that JG was a pending UFA and the team was really under-performing. If we were going to lose him for nothing, a better alternative would be to get a really good player back on a decent contract.
If we do end up losing JG for nothing and the team fizzles out in the playoffs, we can revisit this.
