Nobody will be stupid enough to claim him through the waiver or even trade for him. His contract is just way too much for someone who is palying in the 4th line. Calgary should keep their plan in rebuilding this team with young talent. I think we already have the proper amount of veteran players in this team to add the young talent. We have lots of cap room right now and should stay that way because in the few years, we will see guys like Giordano, Brodie, Gaudreau, Monahan, Jooris and even Hudler and Russell gets the huge salary increase. Look at what happened when the Flames have Iginla and Bouwmeester's big contract, they are practically just trying to give them away. Mike Richards' talent I think is going downhill. He was not the same player as he used to and defintely does not warrant the $5M+ contract a season right now. Stay away Calgary Flames!!
