I think he's 3rd/4th liner
- PhillySportsGuy

I agree. It's too risky to expect him to be able to center a 2nd line at this point

Roster Update: The #Flyers have recalled C Ryan White from the @LVPhantoms.

Ryan White for Mike Richards

Washed up as soon as he went to LA. Never did a damn thing.

NMC got voided when he was traded to LA. I doubt anyone takes him on waivers and if they can't find a trade where they eat some cash, they will likely send him to the AHL, per Bob McKenzie & Pierre Lebrun

Thanks.. I back read and found that info.

That's just nuts.. Gonna bury him in the minors. You'd think someone would go after him. Wasn't Nashville looking for a centre before Ribeiro was signed?

- PhillaBully

all ours for the low low price of 30M

Its just so hard to pay a guy who is AT BEST a third line player 5.75 million for 4 years.

And I was under the impression that if he retires, the Flyers are on the hook for the contract since they were the ones who originally signed it?

If the term and money was the same, I'd take him over Umby..

Nope.

phew

JUST NOW

As a player, he has value, but not much with that contract. If the Kings could move, him, why place him on waivers?
- MJL

Seems like they were getting offered bad/less worse contracts in return. Somewhat like the Umberger/Hartnell deal. Losing him for nothing would be the best situation for them but I don't see it happening.

JUST NOW

We should discuss.

Mike Richards please come back to Philly!

- Jsaquella

guess we all know who won that trade

Nope.

I'm trying to figure this out:
http://wayback.archive.or...-advantage-recapture-work

So over his 4 years, he was paid $29.6M with a cap hit of $23M per 4 years, having a Cap Recpature of $6.6, which is a Recpature Penalty of $1.32M per year.

After that, I don't know how to calculate the penalty.

There was a special condition to cap recapture that saved the Flyers from this. Thank you #based CBA.

We should discuss.

I'm surprised it hasn't been yet
