Maybe the Flames are trying sign Del Zotto and/or McBain but now they won't come here unless it's for more than this contract?
Not saying they are or aren't, but these "not going to hurt us going forward" posts don't have much validity IMO. Fact is we won't know until the contract is over and it is a bad one.

ok this is getting ridiculous.
So now you are attempting to argue that there may be other FAs out there that the Flames a re pursuing, but
a) they demand more than Engelland's contract, and
b) the Flames won't pay it.
Good God.
First, the value that any and all free agents will sign for is a function of their own supply and demand situation.
Second, if the only thing separating the Flames and a FA they desired was Engelland's contract, there is little doubt they would pay it.
People: he is over-paid, everyone agrees with that. But it will have no material bearing on ANYTHING that happens with Flames contracts in the future.
