i remain steadfast in my belief Calgary needs to steer clear from a guy like that
I think specifically it would be for three reasons ~ not sure what Bob said but how I see it he would come into a situation that fit in numerous ways,

1. He would add more grit to the line-up
2. Fits in with the age group of the core
3. Offensively bolsters top 9 and allows for even more scoring balance

Those 3 main reasons are what make him a great fit for the Flames

Detracts would be

1. Attitude problems/distraction
2. Lefty shot
3. Unsure of commitment/UFA status
4. Supposed/rumoured cost of acquiring him is ridiculous

Again ~ Not sure what BM's reasoning was that had him seeing Calgary as the best fit.
