Eklund: More on Flyers and Richards

Go Philly Go - Go Philly Go

Been so long since a Philly roomer

What? The Oilers are not in on this? What happened to those winds of change?

i really really dont wana give up richards.

Is there actually going to be more to come? This is the same rumour he posted a few days ago.

Nor would I, but when you're the LA Kings and the reigning SC champs people want to look for problems and try and tear ya down. It's human nature.

Pfffft Why would LA get rid of Richards to take on a Terrible contract in Umberger at $4.6 million for another 2 years, or lecavelier for another 3 at $4.5 million.

So, in other words, Richards isn't coming to Philly. Because nobody is taking the corpses Lecavalier or Umberger

Pfffft Why would LA get rid of Richards to take on a Terrible contract in Umberger at $4.6 million for another 2 years, or lecavelier for another 3 at $4.5 million.

Yeah that part makes zero sense, unless they are thinking 3-4 seasons down the road . If it's a money thing why take on either of those over priced Jabronis?

As did I. I admit I merely glance over most of the blogs in here before I start shooting my mouth off.

Ohh didn't quite read all the way through.

So as long as they can unload garbage and not give up anything to get him, it's all systems go?

I'm sure it'll all unfold any minute now....

Why didn't you just say philly is not in on Richards.I can't see him getting traded until the draft anyway

ARGGGGG, IT'S NOT A ROOMAR!!

Why did they trade Hartell for Umburger again?

Don't see this happening at all either, makes no sense.
Even for Hextall.
We would be ok if the league allowed 5 CBO's, instead of just 2, (groan).

Richards will NOT be going to philly, book it! He's the last thing they need.

So hextall won't move picks or prospects

And the move is contingent on him finding someone two pick up one of two anchor contracts?

In what reality does this ever happen?

None, he inherited a salary cap mess, there wasn't much difference between Holmgren & Clarke.
Both guys were fine GM's, unless they had a salary cap to deal with. Neither could work within the constraints of a budget, nor have any vision past the current season.
Like I mentioned earlier, we would be in good shape if the league gave us 3 more CBO's.

So Philly is going to trade one of Lecavlier or Umberger and then trade for Richards without moving picks or prospects? What is he selling? Hopes and dreams?

Why do you EDM guys even bother getting so mad still? Direct your anger towards Oilers Management. You're getting shown up in the standings by the got'damn Flames.

There is plenty of anger to go around when you are an oilers fan sir.i wouldn't doubt that you just marginally out bid Mac T for the services of Umburger.
