I am fine if the deal does not go through. It’s not worth it to me to argue as I literally did the deal because I was approached and he wanted to make a deal.
The picks outside the 3rd are late and really are not overly valuable to me. So if everyone feels it should be rejected I’m fine with that. If not I will send him the other two players.

To be clear, no one did anything wrong here. But this is what tended to happen in a lot of historic drafts, where right before the draft, someone couldn't make it and would dump their picks for a poor return.
And I think it's also a good lesson for new Gms to be specific on your trade block. This is what he had posted:
"Martin Frk and all my 2020 picks are available. Toss me some ideas, would like to add a winger"
Which is different from
"I'm not going to make the draft, so I'm looking to move my picks for a combination of 2021 picks and prospects".
That would have probably generated different offers.
But these deals are the ones that were happening in the past, and why we started to reject them.
But if you both have agreed on a revised deal toss that one up there and we can re-vote.
