That is true, but no matter what people living here like to think, Calgary is NOT a desirable destination for UFAs, especially those that are top tier. A few outliers don't change that. Overpaying for UFAs is the cost of business to get players to come here.
Put BT on a team with full autonomy that spends to the cap AND is desirable for players to play, and you'll see him flourish.
