Mike Richards is so not the really good player he used to be in Philly. Guy is in decline. Don't see him recovering that previous form either.

At this point he's still an okay player but little more than that. And going by how he's looking as a player these days, he's not even much of an on-ice upgrade on Stajan at all, and that $5.75M cap hit until 2020. Yikes!

Wouldn't be too surprised if Flames somehow got him if he'd only be the 4th line centre on this team right now too playing 8-11 min a game.

I'd rather not.
