Thing is, those reclamation projects were brought in when our cupboards were bare and we had nothing in the pipeline. We have a pretty good pipeline now there's really no need for a player like Richards on the Flames at the point in time even at league minimum. It sucks that he's all messed up, I hope he gets better, but I wouldn't want him anywhere near the Flames.
