Not going to convince you otherwise nor will I try to. Just a big disappointment.

You don't need to "simplify" things for me. I'm pretty versed on how things work. A smart business (Hockey Club) doesn't give away it's assets for nothing and you don't give away players for well below market value. I was dissapointed that we couldn't get anything of value for Cammy as well, but, you don't look like a sieve and start giving away good assets either because you are desperate. We can still sign Cammy and my heart wouldn't be broken if we did either. We still need some vets and Cammy IS a good player despite what you or anyone thinks. Accepting a 3rd or a 4th would of been very bad. Things can change, Cammy can sign a 3-4 year contract for 4-4.5 per and now he is no longer a rental and you can get a proper "hockey trade" for him down the road. Most likely, it will be a sign and trade by draft day.
