Find it very hard to believe he couldn't have gotten at least a 2nd for Cammi from someone...he put his eggs all in one basket, and then dropped the basket....

Point taken.. but how do you know Burke didn't go through option B, C, D all the way through Z? This past deadline was a very different beast than in year's past. Gillies screwed it up with Kesler and having teams wait for him. Snow didn't make a move until very late before the deadline. There were teams waiting for those shoes to drop first. He could very well have exhausted all avenues. All we know is the best offer was a 3rd round pick.
