Not at all, some times you just get unlcuky. Cammy was far from the best player at the deadline! Ask yourself if as a GM you would want an offense specialist that can't score?
Leading to the trade deadline Cammy had 2 goal and 2 point and a +/- of -8 in 15 GP. This made him a very risky acqusition for any GM... Especially if you consider that his play might have been connected to some sort of an injury. Esentially nobody wanted to risk much for him(rumors say a third round pick). If he would've been traded for such a low price it would tell teams that if they wait and pressure the Flames on the next deadline, they will give.
Anyways this has been talked about multiple times, sometimes luck is just not on your side during a season.
