No, because some are obviously made without any competing bids.
As for Coleman, if you look at the UFA signings of 2021, it's right in line with the others. So it's not an overpayment. Maybe it was a signing that was unnecessary or didn't address a bigger need. Was a strong 2 way player who is more defensive needed more than, say, a Saad or Hoffman type?
For me, signing Coleman improved the team and didn't prevent a different signing that the Flames missed out on.
