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.

It's a two way street though, there's zero evidence that Richards wanted to be a Flame either. I'd argue the fact he signed with the Rangers (as he stated, East Coast, close to Home and it's the Rangers) is the only reason anyone needs to back up their claim he never wanted to be a Flame.
Pretty cut and dry if you look at it that way.
I believe the Brad Richards ship has sailed though. And the pursuit won't start again by the Flames. Nor do I believe he would waive to come here. I don't have facts to back up my belief, just believe it's close to the truth.
