I don't understand why so many fans are pining for the services of a player that doesn't want to play for the organization. We make fun of Oilers fans but some of you have to accept the optics of this team and that it's just not a desirable place to be at the moment.

Well, you can go ahead and fail to understand why fans pine for a player who doesn't want to play for the organization, but personally? I'll never understand why some fans need to make up some fiction about the feelings of a certain player to justify their own feelings.
There is absolutely no record of Richards not wanting to be a Calgary Flame, zero. The only thing we know is that Calgary was on the short list, and that Richards preferred the Eastern Conference over the Western Conference. Quit passing off your own fantasy as fact and using it to ridicule the desires of other fans.
