We've treated our veteran players like GOLD for years. Where are the flood of UFA's that should be flocking to our team?

The team is NOT renowned for mistreating players. At worst, you can say they don't develop young players but that has little or nothing to do with free agency.

So again. The Flames have been treating their veteran players well for years yet we're not seeing any high profile free agents sign here as you suggest we should.

As others have said, money and winning talks for the players. The rest of it is window dressing.
