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.

I've always thought we've done a pretty good job attracting free agents in the past when we actually had a good team. Bouwmeester was the big prize of the 2009 UFA class when we got him (I know we signed him as a RFA, but he could have waited one more day).
