    Default Rumour - Mike Richards

    Gary Lawless - Wpg Free Press - reporting Mike Richards would be a good fit in Wpg next season. Buyout by LA?
    Possible 3rd line C, say goodbye to Ollie Jok.
    Should Jets go after him?

    What's Jeff Carter going to do without his boyfriend though?

    It's silly, but I would be surprised to see Richards and Carter on 2 different teams. I would be a little scared to do it...

    Lots of players are a good fit on a lot of teams. I. Terms of rumours, this isn't even grasping at low hanging fruit, this is like picking up an apple that's already fallen.

    In other news, Sidney Crosby could be a good fit on 29 other NHL teams, if Pittsburgh decided to buy him out.

    Dreger said Richards won't get bought out.

    I think he's been hurt the second half of the season, he doesn't look himself at all, we'll hear more in the offseason no doubt

    Something's up, thats for sure. He's lost his step this year out of nowhere.

    He won't be bought out. He's too good of an option to play anywhere in the lineup. There's no sense in shipping him out.

    Not quite, not all year...the first half of the season he looked like he normally did...35 pts in 51 games (56 pt pace), but after that he scored only 6 pts in his last 31 games, and he's not been his usual dominant self in the playoffs at all. Something is up, you're definitely right about that

    Mike Richards is my favourite NHL player.
    I wish I could disagree with this thread... but he isn't a critical cog in the success of the LA Kings.
    He can still have his moments.

    Realistically, they've only got 2D signed for next year and several young RFA forwards.
    They may not have the budget to re-sign everybody... and it would certainly not surprise me to see LA give him the CompBuy.

    His speed has definitely lost a gear.
    Still a solid two-way forward, but definitely more of a C2/C3 in the NHL.

    I'd love to see him be C3 in Winnipeg.
    I've got a few $$$ ready to burn on a new player t-shirt anyways.

    When Spezza goes, I'd like to see him sign in Ottawa as a 3rd or 4th centerman. Lord knows they'll need the help if they're counting on Turris and Zibanejad to lead the charge. Plus he's an Ontario kid.
    Hockey Pools? Too many to mention. Points only, salary cap and dynasty.

    Found column as it does make some sense with his Wpg connections. This salary cap era will create strange bedfellows.

    Kenora On is a heck of a lot closer to Wpg than Ottawa but Ottawa would make some sense if Spezza is gone.

    For the sake of my salary cap team I hope they buy him out.

    Pretty difficult to picture him in Winnipeg when his current team still has NHL games on their schedule. I can see him being bought out though.
