No, not really. Nashville and St. Louis both also have 7. Many teams have six, including the President's Trophy champion and the 2 teams who just played for the Stanley Cup.
Keep in mind these are contracts that can't be extended until next Saturday and don't expire for a year, so they will often get signed before they expire (that's why it's foolhardy to look at a UFA class more than a year out).
Also, the Flames don't have any key contracts expiring this year, so it makes sense they have more expiring next year.
