Yeah not sure. Don't want to get "served" again.

Really nice guy.
Couldn't stand his work

Not in my book!

Never cared much for DB’s work. That’s all I will say

Oh, actually no. He was like malaria.

Ok, that’s really all I have to say

Oh, I agree. He just played like he was an intellect, like Duha. He wasn't, IMO.

Back to Richardson. Looks like he is an excellent faceoff man, winning 53.7% of FO over last 6 seasons (5 in Arizona and 1 in Nashville)

Not sure which thread to post it in, but supposedly it's the last summer practice for the Flames at Seven Chiefs. Last one with Gio there. I am sure it will be emotional. I am sad. Dustin Wolfe there also. I am just hoping a season happens uninterrupted and a playoff season for the Flames. Go Flames.

I take that back. My argument was perfect

As soon as I write this, Tre will probably muddy the waters again lol but I'd say it's not so bad at this point.

I was hoping for Bozak as the 4th line center, because he too is very good at FO, but there is not a ton of difference between Bozak and Richardson. Bozak likely signs soon with someone for double $$
