Sorry, the miscalculation I mean is the three other guys.
Toffolli asked for a trade and CC pulled the trigger. We could probably have used some of Toffoli's 9 points right now, but I brought it up to illustrate that CC can get things done if given a clear answer as Toffoli gave him.
The other three maybe didn't give him a clear answer at the time, and he let them use the summer to figure it out, instead of pursuing trade opportunities on all of them a little more urgently, and that could come back and bite him.
