I wouldn't Trade Toffoli for anything less than a top 10-15 pick.
Cammalleri will get the Flames a pick between 25-30 overall and a B level prospect (ie Ben Hanowski)

Perhaps Burke is able to grab a late 1st in a weak draft, but to expect guys like Toffoli is a pipe dream.

Might be wishful thinking on my part, but the NYI gave up essentially 2 first rounders for Thomas Vanek.
Toffoli was a 2nd round pick don't forget. 47th overall, 3 seasons ago. He's almost 22. Same age as Baertshi and he is being labelled as a bust, they are similar statistically.
Baertshi .47 PPG
Toffoli .51 PPG
I like Toffoli's game, but let's not get ahead of ourselves like he's the next Crosby or something.
