I get that. I understand that Burke was trying to trade him. My point is that he valued Cammalleri more than just dumping him for a low pick. By deciding that it was worth more to keep the player and possibly re-sign him than it was to trade him for whatever the going rate was, Burke contributed to what happened after the deadline, which was that the team continued to play well and to win games. It is a small thing but sometimes small things can have much bigger consequences that are realized.
