LA

Lombardi cap circumvention plan comes to fruition. Internet self destructs.

 

[Skobel24]

Does anyone need a 4th line C right now?

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

He's done, he should play in Europe if he still wants to play.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

It's been speculated that Edmonton has interest. The question is does he have interest in coming to Edmonton on a PTO?

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

He's done as a centre, but is there any chance he can be salvaged as a winger? I always thought his skillset had some advantages on the wing.

 

[Stand Witness]

He should be done in the NHL imo.

I wonder if he would make a good analyst? Could be the kind of guy that we always talk about wanting.

I am sure he could get some job coaching/scouting/management too with his track record (off ice aside).

 

[DJN21]

If I were the Sabres I'd swing and miss on him.

 

[Harvey Birdman]

Honestly just to see the reactions of Philly fans, I hope Pittsburgh. Not that we have room for him at forward. It would just be worth it to see him in a pens jersey just once to make some of the Philly fans absolutely loose their minds.

no chance in hell... maybe if Shero/Bylsma were still at the wheel...

Oh the chance of it happening is damn near next to nothing. I was simply saying in a vacuum it would be worth it for outrage reactions.

 

[damacles1156]

I doubt he gets an NHL contract, the guy can't skate a regular NHL shift anymore.

He is done in the NHL most likely.

Most of us wouldn't care. He was a damn good player here, and we all respect his contributions. I can't think of a negative thing to say about the guy and his time here in Philly. Glad he was able to go on to win two cups, personally. Heart and soul guy who deserved it, imo.

 

[edguy]

If he's willing to take a 2way deal knowing he'll spend alot of time in the AHL i think he gets a look

 

[1865]

He was awesome for us, we got Schenn and Simmonds for him and I hold absolutely no ill will to him at all.

He's apparently deciding between Edmonton and San Jose, but that was before the Versteeg PTO so I don't know now.

Not going to happen, unless Fehr is traded. And to be honest I'd rather Fehr

Mike can play anywhere he wants and I can give two craps. Move him to defense then for all I care

 

[YEM]

richards playing for pitt would be like when leclailr played for them, waste of a roster space for a washed up player, making it easier for the flyers to [maybe] win against the pens

 

[THall4]

Its been speculated that the Oilers have offered a PTO to Mike Richards already, and are waiting to hear back from his camp on acceptance. Its believed he's still pursuing a contract before he takes a PTO.

I think the Oilers had interest in him last year as well when he was looking for a team.

According to all reports he has been training hard this year . Not sure if it will help him but he is not that old and a PTO is no big deal , unless he is give the young guys pain med

Have heard this one before...

 

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

Sounds like he's waiting for the World Cup to finish, hoping a team might get deasperate from an injury. Otherwise of he's not offered a contract he has PTO offers from San Jose and Edmonton.

 

[tony d]

He'd be a decent depth signing for a team like San Jose.
