I think the Flames offered a higher cap hit, but Treliving wasn't willing to go longer than 3 years. Cammalleri wanted 5 years, so he took a little less per year to get it.

As we saw with Engelland, Treliving was willing to pay more to get the shorter term. My guess is that the Flames' offer maxxed out at $6M x 3 years, but Cammalleri wanted the term, so he signed with New Jersey.
