If he becomes a fourth line player for this team, it would have been better to get a better pick (like a second round pick if it was available) rather than turning him into a diminished return.

It’s always hard to evaluate a trade after the fact. I could see the rationale of the deal particularly when people were suggesting Toffoli wanted 5 or 6 more years and a raise. If people are against Lindholm then I can imagine Re upping Toffoli. He also was a Darryl booster so it may have been better to move on as well. In return they got a younger player with some potential and a draft pick. It wasn’t a steal but seemed fair given the other trades made around that time.
He was always going to be a project.
