Who else thinks Mike Richards will turn it and revive some of his game again.

[M.C.G. 31]

I think he can do 60 pts again if he's given top 6 time.

Even if he does get back in the NHL, it won't be in the top-6. He's simply not good enough anymore.

I see a different team giving him a chance if LA retains salary. Whether he makes good on that second chance is a completely different story.

A lot of guys around the league probably know about Richards extracurricular activities. He's a low-life.

So he's a low-life cause he parties too hard for you?

 

[Rals]

I do! oh yee of little faith.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

Cant we just be done with him? Time for new blood, I say.

 

[Kunta Kinte]

He was an overachiever with Flyers.

This dude wasn't really ever projected to be a 75-80pts player.

Some guys just won't last as long as others, have short peak.

I never been a fan of "cannon ball"..

How exactly does this make him a low-life?

Mike Richards is a special human being from what I understand. Numerous reports of his acts of charity have been heavily reported. Visits to hospitals, charitable events, and large cash donations to name a few. He gives to the community more than most.
My prediction is hell attempt a comeback but may fail.
If he does fail he won't hold the Kings hostage by having them endure cap hell.

Instead he will retire with a lot of money left on that contract.

I can see Dustin Brown doing the same.
Its the right thing to do. Players should feel ashamed about stealing money.
Richards is first class.

It always sucks to see a good player's game go to hell before it's supposed to. But it happens. He's done.

Yea the partying is a complete opposite of a low life. Its not like he's at some bar in Inglewood getting hammered every night with blue collar guys.

 

[OneMoreAstronaut]

65% of his former self? What does that even mean?

First 1-armed, 1-legged NHL player. OP called it.

Apparently he looked pretty average in his first game with Manchester.

Well, I guess it's a start.
