Cammalleri is a pending UFA. Holding his rights at this point is like holding an option in the futures market... He has an expiry date. The leverage is not in the sellers court when your product is about to expire, the leverage is heavily weighed towards the buyer(s). What the buyers are willing to pay in this case ultimately determines his value.
In the case of Bouwmeester last trade deadline, you're right, because he was still under contract for a year and the tension for change wasn't there on our end. We had leverage. Cammalleri today? We had no leverage... The buyers determined his value. That's the whole reason why Burke tried to manufacture leverage in claiming he was going to re-sign him versus trade.
