We'll probably see a bunch of third tier signings and be regaled with stories about how close we were to getting the big one that got away.

Honestly this is probably the best case scenario for the Flames. Let Tre go big game hunting, miss out, and be forced to pick up bargain deals in December when veterans who can help will be had for pennies on the dollar.
The only things worth buying in free agency is elite talent (Hall, Markstrom, Pietrangelo) and discounted value assets.
Stay clear from any “Tier 2” free agents.
