What I noticed lately is every team offers the same $ amount +/- 5%, its just which team gets the winning bid.

We in a 2 year span the Flames went out and got Wideman, Russell, and Engelland as FAs (Russell was an RFA, but his free agent & waiver status drove that trade). I think it would be hard to argue that all three of those guys aren't playing quality top 4 minutes right now. The Flames were also able to pick up on Waivers Schlemko and trade for Smid who would both arguably be a big upgrade most of the Oilers defenders.
