People are drawing their conclusions based on making up what they think the return was. We don't know what the offers or how many there were.
I suspect the best Burke could get was a 3rd. Worth it to trade him for that? Maybe. Maybe not.

Based on Burke's comments, Cammy would have gone for a 3rd as Burke attaches value to 2nd and 3rd rounders. It could have been Pittsburgh saying we will give you a third for either Stemp or Cammy (50%retention) and given Burke's interest in re-signing Cammy and lack of interest in re-signing Stempniak he kept the asset he has interest in retaining and jettisoned the one he didn't want.
