Very talented hockey player and as his name always reminded me, always a pest to the Flames. Vermette.

...why? I only posted this because I saw the news, I never had any desire for Vermette to become a Flame.

Were you thinking Versteeg?

He was probably thinking of Thomas Vanek.

It was neat of Google to display a picture of Vermette above this story and not Dak Prescott.

Always liked Vermettes game. That prototypical 2-way centre. Was considered one of the best at it for a while.
