^ Agreed

On top of that, there are other considerations.

Was the 3rd rounder guaranteed? Or conditional?

Did Calgary have to eat salary to get that 3rd rounder? Did the owners really want to pay whatever money for a player who wasn't going to play for their team?

Would there be opportunity cost? Obviously, teams that were looking to acquire Cammalleri were pre-occupied with Kesler/Vanek/Moulsen that Hemsky barly scarped anything, and 50% retained... would all the work required to get that 4th rounder (?) be worth it at the cost of not getting a 3rd for Stempniak and/or a 2nd for Berra? At the end of the day, we got a 2nd and a 3rd rounder... if we chased a suitor for Cammalleri, we might have only got a 4th.
