If LA makes a deal, they're going to want to clear most, if not all of Richards' cap hit. If they buy him out, Richards will only cost them $3 mil a year against the cap. So I can't see them taking on even a 2-3 mil contract back. And the Flames have lots of cap space, so why reduce the return from LA by sending contract to LA?
So I see picks/prospects going to LA in exchange for Richards and better picks/prospects. Something like:
To CGY
Mike Richards
Adrian Kempe
2015 1st
To LA
Ben Hanowski
2015 2nd
2016 3rd
