So not worth doing, including using up that retention slot you needed for Kadri.
If a 2nd is the best you can do, then I think you can get that next year.

That's interesting, I don't remember reading any rumors regarding what was actually offered. I only remember that Conroy wanted someone to "knock his socks off to move Blake". That obviously has yet to happen.
Personally I like the idea of trading Coleman + 2nd for a prospect like Geekie, but at the same time, I can see why Tampa would want to hold onto their A prospects unless they're big game hunting.
I keep coming back to the idea of potentially trading Frost in the offseason if he could get you a 1st. Or maybe include him in a swap for someone like Kent Johnson, or Cole Sillinger that got pushed down the depth chart in an up and coming team like Columbus.
