I'm sure any hockey fan with a pulse has already seen this. www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=369796One of the 1st things that came to mind was these 2 guys took home town discounts. Just goes to show ya how much loyalty there is out there. |

Ya this just doesn't make sense to me. I thought they might trade Carter because of the cap but Richards too? It's ridiculous, trading their young, long-term contract, captain. He has more heart than anybody left on their team. Columbus and LA just got a whole lot tougher.
The Bryz contract is terrible too. Goalies have such short peaks so a 9 year. 51 million dollar contract is a terrible signing.

The Richards deal lost me I'm done until Ed Snider dies now. Carter needed to go a year ago instead of Gagne... I didn't want him to stay but he signed away his UFA years to stay this season for pretty cheap (5.25 mil) and they dealt him before it even kicked him. They even assured him a month ago the rumors were not true. We did not need Bryz on a ridiclous length contract I'm just overall disgusted.
Giroux is the only real heart and soul player left on this team and he's expected to lead it with JVR now. I really don't get it we have Giroux and Briere as a 1-2 then Schenn as a 3? Who the hell is going to play against Crosby? They didn't really improve the team in anyway except in net but that deal will hurt us in the long run. I think they expect a lot out of Voracek and Simmonds.
I'll be going to one game next season in early November against the Blue Jackets in Philly. I will be wearing my Mike Richards Kings jersey because that's sure as **** who I'll be rooting for the next few years. It's really convenient for me anyway to be honest I'm in Anchorage, AK 4 hours behind ET so it's much easier to jump to PT. Plus they have Justin Williams!

I can see them tradin Carter to make room for bryzgalov. But why the hell did they trade Richards too? Simmonds is alright and Schenn is goin to be a good player but heart and soul guys don't grow on trees.

when I first clicked on TSN after the carter trade, I was like "Ha they put a picture of Richards instead of Carter" then I read the headline and was just flabbergasted

I cannot believe the level of ignorance in Philadelphia about Mike Richards. At least the rest of the hockey world is up in arms but so many people are straight up oblivious to the type of player he is. I'll be going to one game this coming season Nov 5 against the Blue Jackets and I'll be rocking my Kings Richards jersey.

Not really. Considering the other contracts thrown around 3.3 might be a good deal. I could see Jagr putting up 60-70 points.

I thought Id chime in on the Richards deal. Can I just say LA is a friggen sick team to cheer for. They have so many awesome players and Richards just put them over the top. I am sad to see Richards leave Philly but happy to see him go to LA if that makes sense. Just wish the Flames traded for this guy though.

Poor Flames, so mismanaged. They held onto that Stanley Cup Final team for too long trying to relive that glory. That team is in really bad shape and needs a complete rebuild asap. I don't think Jay Feaster is the answer either, there's a reason he can never get a job.

A major problem with the flames is they can't draft for $hit.
So what's a rebuild goin do?

I don't just mean a rebuild of the team, the whole organization.

They'd be the first to go, dragging down team morale.
