The thing is though, the Flames are below the cap...regardless. If paying those guys above less meant that they could sign a first line centre or another defence man..great. However, there's only so much room on the 23 man roster. Signing the guys you mentioned above leaves less room on the roster anyway and I'm not so sure that they'd attract the high end UFAs.
The real problem isn't that the Flames "overpaid" those players. Its that they haven't drafted any high end talent in recent years that have made an impact to the roster yet.
...just my opinion.
