I think Cammalleri is really good for this team's progression back towards competition and how much they pay him is actually kind of irrelevant.
My ideal scenario is that Cammy stays until we can get something really good for him. And again, in the meantime, who really cares how much he gets paid.

Please don't bring the Oilers into this. They are just a bad org top to bottom.
I'm not sure why Cammaller is good for our progression. I see an underperforming, undersized sniper who plays a position we have depth at, who asked for a trade in the summer, and who can probably get us a decent return at the deadline.
How much you pay a player is always relevant. Just because we have cap space now doesn't mean we won't be kicking ourselves in 3 years if we signed some plug UFA like a Boyd Gordon to a 3.75/year AAV contract (sorry for bringing up the Oilers again)
