Mike Richards IV: Started From The Bottom, Still Here *MOD WARNING Post #194*

Maybe the person inside the Bailey costume pulled a hammy?

If he did, it was Richards fault.

 

[PJ Kings Hockey]

Perfect. I'll do the same. Visualize. See the dream happen.

(Hoping it's true.)

I'd probably take Lupul out of all of those. Shortest duration remaining and the best player based on that. Push comes to shove, throw him on LTIR. That Zajac contract is atrocious.

I would too.

Supposedly richards is in LA my buddy works at Toyota and sent me a pic of him practicing call up maybe?

No official word from the Kings. Strange cuz the Narchs have a game tomorrow and their last game was just this Sunday. No sense for him to fly in a day or two just to practice at Toyota!

Guess we will find out if this had any legs come tomorrow then?

Think Lombardi would be able to swap bad contract for bad contract? Mike Richards carries a $5.75M cap hit until 2020, so I was looking at other lengthy contracts within that same range:

Matt Moulson, Buffalo Sabres, $5M cap hit until 2019
Stephen Weiss, Detroit Red Wings, $4.9M cap hit until 2018
Dave Bolland, Florida Panthers, $5.5M cap hit until 2019
Travis Zajac, New Jersey Devils, $5.75 cap hit until 2021
Mikhail Grabovski, New York Islanders, $5M cap hit until 2018
Joffrey Lupul, Toronto Maple Leafs, $5.25M cap hit until 2018
Dion Phaneuf, Toronto Maple Leafs, $7M cap hit until 2021

Seems like the most probably undesirable contract to be swapped would be Phaneuf out of that group, but those other undesirable contracts might also work if a team is compelled enough to take a chance on damaged goods.

I'd take Moulson and move Gaborik to RW. Moulson could be like Smyth (puke) but he did fine cleaning up rebounds.

No that was me, I went for a skate this morning.

 

[Jeff18]

Is it against the rules for him to skate with the team?

 

[Reclamation Project]

Can't even cover his man.

 

[CowMix]

Are they sure it was Richards or did they just see curly hair and assume?

 

[Fishhead]

Wow, Richards grew a few inches and put on about 20 pounds, good for him!

 

[Reclamation Project]

Return of the Sith.

 

[CNS]

Amazing how desperate for attention people are.

With that figure, it looks more like Andi Petrillo.

So the picture taker couldn't wait for him to turn around?

 

[Johnny Utah]

This was a good player skating...couldn't have been Mike.

 

[CowMix]

All the picture proof are in potato quality

I got this picture cause I work at Toyota Sports Center which is the Kings practice facility, and I saw a him and I thought no way, everyone was just as puzzled as I was, we have a surface Schedule so I saw it said LA Kings practice and I thought it was gonna be Voynov since I've seen him practice when Kings are away, but when Richards came out of the locker room I was surprised

 

[Herby]

All the picture proof are in potato quality

If that is the center that MR is supposed to be checking then yeah it's probably him.

Send Stoll down and bring Richards up. If he is still a fail, then flip a ****ing coin between the two of them. Sending Shore down would be a huge mistake.
