I have never seen a players skating ability decline as much as Richards has.

I see you've never heard the tale of Jack "Halfsie" McCubbin.

He was a player for the St. Pats in the early 1920's who lost both of his legs in a freak band-saw accident at a wood mill. It was obviously a long time ago but legend has it that he never skated quite the same again.

His skating hasn't changed........his scoring ability dropped off. He was decent this year.....his contract caused all the bs.
Tonight e played good, won most of his face offs. Tomorrow he will be on nbcsn....watch for yourselves people. He ain't too bad

Unless Mike Richards worked his way into injurying Stoll he didn't do anything in the AHL that warranted his call up.

Did the players that replaced him do anything to warrant staying?

Simmonds is black. 100%

Yes, I was just joking
- Streit2ThePoint

did you remove the earlier comment about Simmonds being black? how was that a joke exactly... aren't Schenn and the other guy Grossman white? why not make that the joke instead?

This is what happens when you wander in and out of conversations like a lost child. Read back or remain ignorant, the choice belongs to you.

i choose not to read everything since the original comment seems to have disappeared as I couldn't find it to see what else followed exactly. Hence, the questions. but whatever. if there's not a specific response forthcoming, so be it....

I know Richards was on a team that won two Cups....but


Richards for Simmonds, B. Schenn & (2nd rnd pick = Nicklas Grossmann)

- LeftCoaster


Do we really know if those players would have gotten the Kings 2 cups? The fact is Mike Richards and Jeff Carter came along and did help their team win 2 cups

Not every trade has a clear-cut winner and loser. Mike Richards and Jeff Carter were not the sole reason the Kings won anything. Philly got some very strong players and just because they haven't won a Cup doesn't mean that they "lost" any trade.

Except the Andrew MacDonald trade. They definitely lost that one.
