Zero downside for the Flames here.
There's 2 downsides:

1) He costs a contract space that could later to be used to acquire a player or sign a college UFA
2) If he doesn't improve the Flames may have to pay his 1 way salary in the AHL and he could be taking ice time away from a developing kid in Adirondack.

We're trying to improve. Galiardi is a guy that we should be able to improve on since he was fairly useless last season. Much rather we gave a shot to somebody else, either in the organization or outside of it. He had a whole season of chances on a variety of lines and failed to impress. Why does he deserve more of a chance than kids like Reinhart, Granlund, Knight, etc who actually have impressed?

Let's move on IMO.
