Lou is an awesome analyst. Love hearing him on the morning show talk about players. As a color guy...? meh.
Anyone know how long Wills has left on his contract with the Flames? My hope is that they decide to go in a different direction soon.

This is the last year of the Flames TV deal with SportsNet, but I'm not sure about radio.
I agree. Lou is great because he's honest and upfront about when he really likes a person and has to separate that from the player. He talked about that last night with Matthew Phillips. I think he's learned from his exchange with Pat about Kris Russel 3 years ago how to be unbiased and actually use the viewpoints and approaches analytics gives to inform what he sees.
Wills is a waste of time to listen to outside of calling the game. He's little more than a press release for the team and void of insight. I think he's palatable at calling games but not bright or resourceful enough to actually provide something close to worthwhile. Much like Pat and Wil I gave up wasting my time listening to him babble long ago.
