It was a perfect storm. Oil had not cap space, Broberg wanted out and STL is a team on the cusp of playoffs that had cap space and a decent future.I can't see it being a trend yet. It is too damaging to salary planning to be paying guys like this based on a threat. Teams know that they need to prioritize stars and those stars always have many more opportunities to move on than guys like Broberg and Holloway. So I suspect teams will simply see losing such players in the rare instances it happens as the cost of doing business.
While guys want money, they don't necessarily want to go from cup contender to bottom feeder
