No. He wasn't an asset offensively and he certainly was not an asset off the ice.
Like AC said, rather see the spot go to Max Reinhart myself. Reinhart is probably a better community ambassador for the Flames as well. Both times that I met Galiardi at Flames sponsored events (Fan Fest and another fan event) he was a DB to the extent that Hudler made a comment about TJ's behavior to him. Pre-signed a pile of cards, put them in front of him and pointed to them while looking at his phone as kids walked up asking for an autograph. Rest of the guys at the event were signing them as they kids asked and talking to them. Left a poor impression on me for what was supposed to be a hometown boy living his dream of playing for his hometown team.
