Reminds me of when Burke held on to UFA Cammalleri at the TDL years ago because teams wouldn't meet his ask. It hurt not to recoup the pick in the short-term, but setting that precedent is important in future dealings (especially for a new GM like Conny, I would imagine).

I’m sure there’s a historian here amongst us but is this true? Did Burke really “set a precedent” and did he have trades after the Cammy situation that appeared to be greater than expected where we can draw a line to this strong stance? Because it felt more like losing an asset for nothing
