Not to mention the Flames or any other Western Conference team taking on Richards contract would be doing a massive service for the Kings a team the Flames and various other teams are in competition for a playoff spot. Zero chance be get's claimed by a Western Team outside of maybe the Oilers who don't have the space. If I'm managing the Flames I love what is happening here as if the Kings have to buy him out they are going to have long term cap ramifications.
