I say this as someone who made such a mistake signing Marty Biron to a big smelly 3 year UFA contract.

I doubt it. There's two philosophies that will always prevent this from happening
1. If I don't sign him I loose the asset for nothing
2. I'll just sign him and dump him on the next poor sap
There has been a change these last few years though, where GM's are willing to take a couple steps back to be able to move forward.
