It isn't like the Flames made a mistake signing him.

No not a mistake for the Flames. Just that Teves or any free agent MAY look at it and think "well Foo chose Calgary and he's barely gotten a sniff".
And i'm not saying it's the Flames fault either or accusing them of holding Foo down. The fact is, Foo has not produced or earned anything.
It's just that sometimes players / people will look at those types of situations and think negatively of it.
The better example, if i'm trying to sell a college free agent is probably Hathaway or even Giordano.
