However, in my opinion a 3rd rounder is above market value for a Bolig.
If it is an overpayment, what perception of Treliving is being created when comes to trades?

I tend to agree. It's not a huge deal and isn't worth worrying about, but I also think it was an overpayment. People say that you only have a small percent of getting a decent NHLer with a 3rd, but when you trade the 3rd for a below average player, you then have a zero percent chance.
That's a little OT though. As for not trading Cammy, I agree with holding onto him if teams were lowballing for the reasons mentioned. Reputation is very important and we don't want to look like pushovers. It is really too bad that Cammy was hot after the deadline though. If that had happened earlier, I think we could have gotten a late 1st. Having said that, I sure did like watching him closeout the season with the Flames. I think some of our young players liked having him around and were enjoying themselves more because he was there.
