I'm not exactly sure how Burt is even remotely close to a bargaining chip. Why would the Mallers care about Burt? Sure he's a good shot, but it's not like a trade in sports where you change teams and automatically you play to win for your new team. To me, Burt makes no sense to get exchanged for. Pegs on the other hand, makes perfect sense because Scratch wants her for a very specific reason. If Durai is still around, he might ruin Scratch's revenge by not wanting to make the exchange.
