Some markets will always have an advantage (Vegas, New York, LA) but for the rest of the teams it is drafting good players and having good young teams that will attract free agents.
Flames had no issue attracting free agents during the Treliving era, because the core of Gaudreau, Tkachuk, Monahan seemed to be attractive to play with.
