I've come to realize that talented veteran players would stick around a rebuild like the Flames because the team offers them top minutes they wouldn't get elsewhere. I think Cammi fits this explanation. So its fun to be here .... right until the playoffs near and the urge to compete is too great to ignore. So as a pending UFA he will - in effect-then ask to be traded by telling the team he wants a long term deal he knows the Flames won't agree to - and the Flames will then trade him at the deadline. Another win-win for both sides.
