I believe it was... 17th + Simmonds or Schenn (depending on what rumor) + Unprotected 1st this year. The real hang up seemed to be that Hextall wanted this years 1st to have top 10 protection.
This could, of course, be all bull crap. But that seemed to be the prevalent rumor.
I haven't seen the Schenn one, I was under the impression it was 17th Simmonds and an unprotected 1st this year. So with foresight it would have been Sanheim, Simmonds and the 7th Overall with a minute possibility at 8th Overall with a 6.5 pct chance of being the #1 overall. Hexy was right to ask for it to be protected, although I doubt we are picking top 10 this year if we have Ekblad on the blueline.
