It's easy to say that we should have traded him but for all we know, Burke tried to. The perceived value around here for Cammy by some is a second or maybe third rounder, maybe we were offered a 4th or 5th for him and Burke decided that Cammy was better suited to mentor some kids for the rest of the year. Heck, maybe no one wanted Cammy at all.

It would have been nice to get something for Cammy and Butler too but if other GM's don't value the players available then it's not an option. People who were thinking we could get a late first or second should maybe take a step back and realize how much they over value Flames players.
