His short stint with the Bruins, I always thought he was pretty decent. Seemed like a solid 4th line guy. Considering he can't stick, I guess there's more that meets the eye.
Most vets that get called up from the AHL are usually JAGs but Tony Dick stood out to me more positively than usual.

I agree, has some nice speed and skill, wouldn’t mind my team having him in the fold.
Keep Tony Dick in the show.

He's played OK, but with Kuzmenko and Pelletier finally cleared to play, it's a numbers game.

I don't understand this one, in fact i don't understand how he's been a career AHL guy, he's clearly an NHL talent and should be in this league permanently IMO

He doesn’t play a heavy enough game for the Lord and Emperor Torts.

Complain when they call him up...complain when they send him down...complained when they signed him..
some "fans" just are never going to be happy..it's hysterical.

Pretty much. There is a group on here that will complain about both Torts and the so-called "old boy's Flyers network" no matter what the club does.
As for Richard, he's shown nice flashes but for a guy who's game is predicated on offense six points in 15 games isn't that productive.
Waiving him now - a calculated risk - allows hom to skate for the Phantoms during the break. Providing nobody claims him.
It also allows the Flyers to insert one or both of the players acquired from the Flames into the lineup.

He’s paid 500 k in the AHL and $775 k in the NHL…
So averaged out he’s @ just over $600 k for the year.
He’s 28 and signed for same amount next year..
Last 3 years he’s roughly a point per game player in the AHL…
A forward thinking team that’s not in the playoffs should pick him up and let him play out the season on their NHL roster.
He would then be a signed depth point per game player for their next years AHL team.
As at the beginning of the season he most likely would pass through waivers easily.
