UFA contracts aren't compared to RFA contracts. Don't see how this signing affects much of anything in terms of future contracts. Pretty much all UFA's are overpaid. Quincey making 4.5 per is as much of an overpay as Engelland and so were half the contracts defencemen signed on July 1st.
You're being overdramatic about this. The contract isn't that outrageous and really doesn't negatively affect the flames in any way I can see.

Well, the fact that you think Sarich was a 7th defenseman when the Flames signed him, and is comparable to Engelland tells me all I need to know. Sarich played in our top 4 for the MAJORITY of his contract and that was when our defense was among the top of the league
