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

This is a fair proposal. Maybe a little too much going LA's way, make it Hanowski+2nd. Really don't think Toffoli's going anywhere. He'll be a king for the next 10 years.
