Its a sign and trade, but there were other factors involved. Russel was a RFA with arbitration rights. The Flames wanted nothing to do with arbitration, so they made sure Russell signed with St. Louis before he was traded. Cammi is not RFA, nor does he have arbitration rights. There is no chance that Cammi does a sign and trade, nor do i think there is a chance in hell he signs a one year extension.
