hahaha!! A lot of dissapointed Flames fans because Burkie only made two moves.
I actually am happy that he didn't get rid of the players for the sake of making some trades. He also didn't pick any scrub so I am good. I know Burke thinks Cammy will re-sign sometime before the free agency that's why he didn't feel the need to trade him. Same goes to Butler. If you were Butler, why would you sign somewhere else? He is getting good minutes with the Flames even though he is playing on the 3rd pairing. 2nd and 3rd pairing are pretty much getting the same ice-time anyways. I am also glad Burke did not peddle some of the young guys. I didn't think he is stupid enough to even think about trading TJ Brodie like some posters here think it would happen. Not too dissapointed with Berra leaving because of Ortio and also getting 2nd round pick for him. Stempniak been struggling this season anyways so I am okay with trading him for 3rd round pick. I didn't think we would get that high of a draft pick for him the way he's been playing this season. Good on him though.. at least he will be closer to his wife and new twins.
Overall, i am not dissapointed for the lack of movement on this trade deadline.
