I disagree. You trade for value or nothing at all, but that's my opinion. We fundamentally disagree.

So you think Treliving would have ended up paying more for Bollig if Burke had traded Cammy for the best deal offered at the deadline?

I don't know. But I don't think that Treliving is going to get any offers like Agostino, Hanowski and a 1st for Iginla. I think he'll get offered prospects higher on teams' depth charts.
It is possible that Chicago could have said Bollig for a high 2nd or nothing at all. Or wanted a player to go with the 3rd because they'd think the Flames are just gonna cave anyway.
The Flames have a history of getting hosed in trades. I want that to stop. I'm willing to sacrifice a 3rd or 4th round pick to do that. If you're not that's valid, but it doesn't make me wrong.
