And you almost ALWAYS have to over pay for free agents. Again, this is why any trade involving Phaneuf needed to bring back a young forward with top six potential.

That's assuming they sign one, they may trade for one..... Having Cap space is HUGE. There is always teams that need to shed contracts IMO
As for Phaneuf for a young forward with top 6 potential... He traded Phaneuf for 2 top 6 forwards and 1 top 4 dman.
Plus it gave the Flames cap room....
