Given he has some contacts within the Flyers organization, wonder if there is any chance that an Andrew MacDonald for Mike Richards swap could be in the works. Consider the fact that Hextall was in LA when they acquired Richards and MacDonald doesn't seem to be fitting in on the Flyers blueline, having been a healthy scratch at times this season. Contract duration is similar, both running five years after this. Hextall all about adding picks right now so LA could sweeten the pot if necessary to make the deal, and would probably cost a lot less given substanital salary headed back to LA.
Richards may bring some of that swagger back to Philly and LA gets d help. Richards does make $1m more than MacDonald cap wise so Philly might have to shed to make room. But may make sense for both teams to solve their respective problem.

Didn't Richards get traded away from Philly? I am not sure I can see them welcoming him back but stranger things have happened.
