I do however think Cammy gets traded for a late 1st round pick and a prospect nobody's ever heard of.

Trading Butler for a pick won't make us better this season but he's a UFA at the end of the season and there has been no talk of contract in the media. If the Flames don't want him back or Butler doesn't want to be back it makes sense to trade him for anything as he's not going to be a part of a playoff run this year in Calgary.
