Sounds like the Sabres are also considering taking Richards contract on:
Quote:
On if Mike Richards, who was waived by the Los Angeles Kings, is a player he considered bringing in:
“On waivers? No. No.”
Murray then discusses the difficultly of adding players via waivers because of the limit on the amount of contracts per team, along with cap considerations. He also notes how you’ll sometimes see players clear waivers, and then get traded days later.

From LA's perspective if they have to give up assets to get rid of Richards, it is better to do it with someone outside their division/conference.
