This is a non issue. Every team in the league has players making more than what they are worth. On the whole, the Flames have very few bad contracts...Jones at 4 mil, Wideman at 5+, Engelland at 2.9. This is hardly a strong arguing point. If anything, it will be easier for future rfas to point to contracts handed out elsewhere to justify asking for more money.
