To those that think Burke "lost" by not making the trade: I still think the best analogy is the airline ticket sale. Airlines do not sell seats for $10 just prior to take off, even if faced with a near-empty plane. Even though, on the face of it, $10 is better than $0, it will not happen. There is a very real cost for future sales.
For Cammi, would it really make sense for the Flames to trade Cammi + 7th rounder in return for a 6th rounder? There must be some point where the value isn't there, even for a UFA at the deadline.
