I like Burke. I really do. I'm glad he's at the helm right now. But let's call this for what it is - a waste of a pretty important asset. I am surprised at the number of posters trying to dismiss this as a non-issue.

Cammalleri really was the best opportunity the Flames had this deadline to secure another meaningful piece in the rebuild process.

Feaster has been blasted for how he managed assets, and perhaps some of that is justified, but Burke walks away from the team's most valued trade-asset with nothing. Again, unless Cammalleri re-signs, and I suppose he could, then I just can't see how this non-move can be defended.

The 2nd and 3rd picks in the other two deals were good moves. The reality is the team missed it's best opportunity, and unless the Flames get a bit of luck with those 2nd and 3rd picks, they won't make up for what the return could have/should have been for Cammalleri.
