I don't think Richards will be claimed. Im a little worried that LA then visits back with Calgary on trade talks. I really don't think that the flames would get a 1st round pick or blue chip prospect for taking on Richards. It was mentioned by the talking heads that Calgary would send a bad contract. Term wise the flames really don't have bad contracts. At least nothing going more than a couple more years.
Scott Cullen of TSN was saying something around Raymond and Stajan for Richards with a bit of money retained on Richards contract. Can't remember how many years left on Stajan but Richards has 5 more after this season.
