My sense is Filpulla is better in his own end which may decide matters. He is not a pure sniper, Cammalleri is. If you need goals, you want Cammalleri. I think the Flames need his shot more than they need what Filpulla offers.
Everyone seems to hate this signing. I'm going with about market, and fills a hole... but Shane Doan would be the real coup. However, while this is a fine addition, it's still kind of befuddling - signings like this and Wideman (which is in my view an awful contract) make me wonder just what the hell Feaster's long-term vision for the team actually is. Right now it looks like he's just treading water and hoping they're sort of kind of competitive while he figures out what to do.
This whole thing may make more sense if JBo is traded, and perhaps others, and the prospect pool depth is improved by summer's end.
