I'm torn when it comes to Cammy. Part of me sees him as a good competitor and leader to have on the Flames, another part of me sees potential to acquire more picks/prospects for him as well.

But damn, we still need to ice some vets with scoring and competitiveness...
I love Cammy but I think the best thing for this organization is to trade him at the deadline for a late 1st rounder.

He is a great competitor but the Flames can't afford to sign him long term because this team already has too many small forwards. Sven and Gaudreau are the top prospects and both are small. Hudler is signed long term, and that makes potentially 3 of your top 6 forwards in two years time being extremely small. Flames have to support those 3 guys with skill AND size to be competitive. I know this is going to be news to Feaster but you can't ice a team of smurfs and hope to be competitive, especially with where the game is trending back towards size.
