The fact is, in my eyes the value of Cammalleri to the Flames right now is zero. Taking anything would be a good transaction for the Flames. I don't see how holding out for more than whatever was offered is worth anything in future trade negotiations. If anything it will make people think we are overvaluing our rentals and won't bother next time.

You don't think teams would bring lesser offers to the Flames if Feaster is running the show versus Burke?
I don't know if Buffalo would have even made the Butler/Byron for Regehr/2nd offer if Burke was around. Even in football/hockey pools when you're looking to make a deal you evaluate who you are dealing with before making an offer. For example if I had Kevin Westgarth I'd offer him up to Burke but if I had Tyler Ennis I'd offer him to Feaster.
