Sure for the first few years a top UFA looking to win won’t want too - but the argument was if a team rebuilds / tears down UFAs will never sign with that team in the future, so if the Flames rebuild they will never be able to sign another UFa .
Rebuilding teams also don’t want the high priced UFAs because they are older and post apex - especially as the team is ready to exit the rebuild
But lots of UFAs have signed with teams in rebuilds and lots of stars / top yearly UFAs sign with the teams that look to be exiting a rebuild
These are usually the teams with cap room as well .
