Don’t really love that it’s top 10 protected if we’re retaining salary. That should maybe be top 3 protected or something. It’s an okay deal, I’m glad they pulled the trigger and at some point negotiations have to end and as long as it’s reasonably fair it’s fine. It fits a good strategy, which I like.
I wonder if CGY instead of saying “a pick and a prospect” (presuming that’s what was said) just said “as high a pick as possible”. Bahl doesn’t move a needle, but potentially moving from 11th overall to 7th or something might, basically, would giving up Bahl in the deal lead to NJ relinquish the requirement for the pick being top 10 protected?
