If Cammalleri by himself is worth a 1st+ right now then what is Cammalleri with the Flames taking on half of his salary for the season? Two 1sts?
You would have to think for a team like the Senators they would be willing to pay a significant amount to get Cammalleri's production all year for half price. To them that extra production (and extra flexibility to acquire another significant asset or two) could be the difference between going to the playoffs as an underdog again versus home ice advantage.

Cammi is not worth a 1st+ right now. Even if they ate half his salary i am not sure he would get 1st +, unless the "+" was a crap prospect.
