Exactly.

Should Edwards get credit for spending to the cap when nearly 90-95% of teams have done so, historically?

That’s just showing up for class. Might get you a C, perhaps a B on a good year, but it takes more than showing up to get an A. I also suspect, in the Flames case, spending to the cap has been bit of a smokescreen as far as appearances go. ‘See, we’re trying!’…..no you’re not.
