I think it's pretty clear the Hamilton signing wasn't a shot across the bow, but rather a standard contract negotiation.
Calling it a shot across the bow would be suggesting that Dougie's contract would have been higher expect the Flames decided to send a message to Mark Giordano and is agent and colluded with Dougie Hamilton to sign a cheaper deal.
