Less so for Leslie. That's just my opinion. For the record, I will still cheer Tkachuk- until he screws with my team on the ice.
Didn't Francis say that he thought JG was going to Free Agency after college. Then once he signed his ELC, it was he would not re-sign with the Flames after his ELC?

I think saying he "pushes the downside" is an understatement.
