Not just for the Flames but for all teams the UFA signing risks generally far out-weigh the rewards.
For every Chara signing that works there are 4 of Bouwmeester, Redden, Erhoff, Ville Leino Brad Richards, David Clarkson, Federov, Semin, Selanne and Kariya to the Avs .... A mistake in the UFA signing over 2 years sinks a team further than any other hockey transaction this side of the Leeman-Gilmour trade..
