So you're looking at something like 15th - 17th overall best case scenario. So a player who may pan out in 4 years.

as of today (if the season ended) LA is looking at #14.... Getting rid of Richards will leap frog them in the standings? Nick Shore will be better?
They are 10 pts up from picking 5th overall.
They have lost Pearson for the rest of the year. Tofolli has Mono and is expected to be out another couple weeks.
Missing Voynov has Doughty averaging 29:23/game rather than 24-26 that he was used to. He is only a +1.
The long term plan is to dump Richards for cap relief. The short term plan is that this just does not seem to be their year. They might be looking at what they can get for upcoming UFA's Regehr and Stoll.
