I agree. A decent 4th liner who scores 11 goals and can kill penalties will get a much better offer than a 1-year $950,000 contract.
Hopefully you have a player coming up that you can replace that kind of guy cheaply.
But many teams don't and they'll need to pay UFA prices or have a substandard replacement.
The Flames may be one of those teams.
