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.

Raymond and Stajan for Richards would be an alright deal if the Kings could eat $1M per on Richards contract and the Flames could eat $1M on Raymonds. LA would be sending out $4.75M in cap and taking back $5.2 I believe on the deal but get 2 players that can play in their lineup. It opens a permanent spot for a youngster so I like it from Calgarys end.
