I would happily take Richards' contract if the compensation was worthwhile. Keep him through next season and then either buy him out or try to trade with some salary retained.

I'm not good at proposals. I have a feeling I'm off here but I don't know what else might do.

The Flames were asking for Toffoli for taking Richards' contract. In other words:
Richards + Toffoli for
nothing (I know, the Kings don't want that deal, but that's where talks were at apparently)
You are adding Glencross and Smid and switching Toffoli for Zykov and a 2nd.
Toffoli is worth more than Zykov and a 2nd.
So you downgraded their offer AND through in Glencross and Smid.
Good deal!
How about something like
Richards + Toffoli for Smid
