Flames Expect Quiet Free Agency, But Opportunity Lurks

Calgary is signaling that it won't be a major player in the free agency spending spree, but that doesn't mean the Flames won't be opportunistic if the right deal surfaces. Sometimes the best moves happen when teams stay disciplined and wait for value, rather than chasing names in a crowded market. The question for Calgary is whether patience will pay off or if they'll regret sitting on the sidelines while other contenders make moves.
