I'd rather sign Cammy and get a nice return for Hudler than keeping Hudler and not signing Cammy.

The only issue is Cammy refusing to sign, I think it's obvious he's been offered a solid deal and the offer is still on the table.
Why would you sign an inferior player so you can deal away a better player? Cammalleri went on a run when it didn't matter. Where was he when the games mattered? How was he at the start of the season again? How was he when the youngsters were coming in and trying to find their way?

The idea is to keep players around who will help the younger players get better. Hudler is continually identified by the young guys as being a leader and helping them feel welcome to the bigs. Those guys you keep as they will help the rebuild progress quicker. Positive role models like Hudler are hard to find.

Keep Hudler, let Cammalleri take his disappearing act elsewhere, and watch the rebuild progress!
