You weren't alone-I felt the same. Darryl Sutter called him "a 220lb Mike Peca".
My brother had a Wiemer jersey too.

I also forgot to mention Hnat Domenicelli-I figured that he would continue the magic he had with Iggy that they showed in Junior, so I was over the moon when we aquired him.
I also thought Marty Murray would turn into something good.

lol some deep cuts here.

Aren't three of these guys goalies that got hurt paving the way to Freddie's eventual emergency signing and shutout debut versus a Cup-winning Stars team?

I always loved Lombardi. I was devastated when he got traded and I followed his career rooting for him after.

I got a Hagman #11 jersey immediately after the trade... When he switched to 10 the next season and Backlund switched to 11, I had my jersey changed. I've mentioned it before, but I often wonder if I was the first Backlund #11 jersey (as I'm sure someone got a Backlund #60 jersey)

I have a few obscure jerseys as well... a Hudler cowboy lettering retro, a Tanguay Heritage Classic from 2011, and a Baertschi retro red.

If Martin Gelinas and Craig Conroy count, they are number 1 and 2 in no particular order. Heart and soul players, so glad they are both still with the org.

Eric Nystrom! I liked him initially because he wore #23 (Gelinas was my favorite from the 2004 era team), but he grew on me as a guy who was never super talented but played his ass off.

I have great memories of Ville Niemenen's giant mouth both literally and figuratiely.

Micheal Ferland probably gave me more concentrated happiness in the Canucks series in 2015 than any individual Flames player before or since.

I wanted Olli Jokinen to be a star here so bad and rooted for him until the bitter end.

He wasn't a very good hockey player but it felt very good to have Eric Godard providing the nuclear deterrent. Same for Brandon Prust.

Henrik Karlsson looked so promising for a little while there, and had some of the nicest Flames masks in recent memory.
