As a player, perhaps not, but as a person on a team? Possibly. It's hard to quantify the effect that individuals have on a group and it is undoubtedly myriad factors that are contributing to the Flames' woes, but seeing a good bro waived could have a negative effect on young players.
I know it's a business and players need to get used to it, but it could be a factor.
Edit to add: I know nothing about the locker room, but it is the responsibility of management and coaching to guage the psyche of the team and make the right personnel decisions.
