I think as a flames fan, with so much cost uncertainty in pro sports right now, we should be preparing for a free agency letdown. Ownership has been a little stingy in recent years, and with the uncertainty around what’s happening next year I don’t think they take the risk and sign anyone to a big contract. Of the rumours of Hall are true and he’s considering signing a short term deal it’s because his agents have told him money may be tight and he may need to try over again next year to strike it rich. Maybe some wealthy teams will dive right in but I can’t see this ownership group really opening the vault under these circumstances.
