Cammy has one year left on his current contract. He knows that if he has a good season he's likely going to be traded to a contender before the end of the season and cash in in the summer.
Maybe Cammy has different priorities now that he's married, I don't think Cammy will be happy playing for a rebuilding team. Cammy is a pretty driven guy who enjoys the limelight. As the interview suggests, Cammy doesn't think of himself as the veteran who is there to mentor. Cammy's role is to be the best or one of the best players on the team. An offensive leader. Cammy cares about money, he cares about his role on the team (opportunity score goals), and he cares about winning. Cammy witnessed first hand what Iginla went through. If winning a Cup is important, Cammy should try to find himself a contender while he is still relatively in his prime. Otherwise he'll be an aging undersized forward who can still score 20+ goals but contenders are looking for younger options.
