so basically the same deal that the Oilers gave Hemsky in the same situation..
Hemsky was 3-4 years away from his top-line days and having his 36 pt in 69 game season -13 .
The Oilers needed him around to transition the rebuild. (sound familiar?) He was 28 years old -- a couple years younger than Cammalleri is now.
If Burke can get a first round pick for Cammalleri it would be an achievement.
