IMO Galiardi is a 4th liner on a great team. I think he can play 3rd line for us. But having him higher in the lineup is frustrating.

Yup. But I still think Galiardi was a good pick up. Nice to finally have a Hitmen alumni as a regular on the Flames.
I thought that Bouma / Backlund / Galiardi was an effective third line when they tried it a couple of weeks ago. The Devils game (I think).
Oh, and BTW I think that D Jones is also a slightly better version of Comeau. So the Flames are getting slightly better all around !
