You say players wont sign with the Flames, but how many high first round picks can you name that did that? Lindros?
For almost every other high pick they want to play in the NHL, they really dont care what team that is with. If a player decides to Lindros the flames and refuse, then you ship him out for a haul, just like the Nordiques did. Fox was a mid round pick that had one more year left until he was a college UFA. That is a completely different scenario
