Point is like Brad Richards where he's a #64 overall pick in the 3rd round by the Lightning who has become a player that the Flames or any other NHL team wishes they had taken.

As others note...if it was so easy, Tampa would have taken him much earlier too.

Hopefully the Isles can regroup and get back to their style of hockey and take the series. Sometimes teams who didn't do great in the playoffs the previous year learn something and take it all the next year. See the 96 Avalanche who lost in round 1 to the Rangers the previous year as the Nordiques, then went all the way the next year. 97 Red Wings lost to that Avs team the previous year after an exceptional regular season...they meant business the next year in the playoffs.
