I think with guys like Hanifin and Johnny on the flames that becomes much less of a worry for me; add to that the reason he’s disgruntled in Buffalo is because of the lack of success and general direction and the fact that he desires to win and I think it’s the perfect fit for Calgary with the coach we just brought in. The roster we could potentially be running with Eichel in the fold is markedly different than what he had back in 04 and it’s insanely compelling to think of the possibilities!! Make it happen Treliving it’s about time I’d say!
