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.



I'm not attempting to argue anything. You're the one trying to make excuses for a bad contract. I'm just stating possibilities, the only reality here is, it's a bad contract. The rest is all just speculation and excuses.

Also the part that's bolded is just as much pure speculation on your part as I had in my post.
