I dont agree, having a 31 year old Cammalleri does not help your hockey team if he is unsigned. If he walks you get nothing. A 2nd round pick is better then that. Burke probably could have ate salary in a deal to get a 2nd or better. If he does not resign him, it was just another lost draft pick.
Players like Giordano, Hudler, Wideman and Cammalleri are at their peak in value right now and should be used to get younger players. The problem is that playoff revenue is millions of dollars a game and most owners want to make them. They would not want to trade these players because it basically axes any hope for a few year. I know you guys probably love Giordano but the massive return he could get right now is the best option IMO for the Flames to do. your looking at a 1st round pick, good prospect, and roster player.
