It really seems like Calgary has been the only Canadian team in recent memory that was unable to sign their star players once they reached UFA status. I think Gaudreau/Tkachuk were unique though and I do not anticipate the flames having the same challenges moving forward.

I still think Treliving offers the summer before is what screwed the Flames. Most of these players are signing a year early.
If teams lowed balled their players and tried to wait it out all season, they probably lose their players too.
