That’s why teams rarely win when their best players were acquired via free agency. Chara in Boston is the only example I can think of where a teams best player was acquired on July 1st.
If the Flames pay Evander Kane $6M per and he only scores 45pts a season that would be a disaster considering his off ice reputation is among the worst in the league
