Burke deserves some criticism but this is typical Flames bad luck in that they finally start the scorched earth rebuild and it comes at a time when teams decide they no longer plan on giving up top prospects and picks for rental players. There were years past that I'm positive Cammalleri would have fetched a 1st today but those days appear no longer and no matter how you pile on Burke or Feaster it doesn't change the fact that the trade deadline market has shifted and the offers just weren't there that we have been accustomed to in the past.
Sucks that the Flames got nothing but I'm not going to lose sleep over losing out on the next Keenan Kanzig.
