Admittedly it does suck that Burke wasn't able to get a deal done so we can have assets to improve our club. But if teams were only offering a 3rd or 2nd round pick, would we really be satisfied with it? Teams weren't lining up for Cammy, they were prioritizing Vanek, Gaborik and Kesler.

I'd rather us not look desperate and ship Cammy off for something that doesn't even begin to bring value to our team, like a lower draft pick, when he should be commanding more value. It hurts us short term, but this is a move which I think will benefit us in the long term. We can't be pushed around or sell our assets for low value.
