We'll know Brad tried.
Mike Cammalleri had 45 points in 63 games (I'm not sure what he totals were pre-deadline), and then Burke refused to trade him for an insufficient pick.
He then walked as a UFA and the Flames had nothing to show for it. Don't let that happen again.

Quoted for truth. Of all the goofy things Burke did, this was one of the goofiest. He was so concerned about the Flames getting lowballed that we lost Cammy for literally nothing. So dumb.
In 2021 are teams looking back at the Flames standing firm that day and thinking they now need to offer us a 2nd because lessons were learned on that fateful day?
Such a dumb position to take and the Flames were once again losers on that outcome. If a pending UFA is going to leave for nothing like some guys are, trade them 7th rounders or whatever. Don't let them leave for nothing. It's one thing if it's a hockey trade you obviously don't take the lowball trade. But for a pending UFA, get something
anything for a guy who is leaving regardless.
