Great player. Stupid GM.
The only way I would want to see Risebrough come back to the Flames is to be in the ticket selling department since he cant play anymore. He should not have anything to do with hockey management or scouting and developing players
By the way, if you dont remember, this is what Risebrough did
Toronto Maple Leafs acquired
Doug Gilmour
Jamie Macoun
Kent Manderville
Ric Nattress
Rick Wamsley
Calgary Flames acquired
Craig Berube
Alexander Godynyuk
Gary Leeman
Michel Petit
Jeff Reese
I'm well aware, and it sucks that it happened.
But I guess I am not petty enough to hate on someone for doing something they thought was going to turn out okay. Some of the trades Sutter made have set back this organization for the last half a decade but I'd still welcome him back.
I never said I wanted Risebrough as GM or assistant GM or anything in upper front office. People have tried to put those words in my mouth but I never framed it that way. I think he could redeem himself as part of the alumni group in Calgary that is so strong, and he could find work as a scout or just be part of the alumni association in general.
I realize it's not going to happen, but it is what it is.
