My first instinct was to suspect the Kings of attempting to circumvent the cap given the TSN article posted previously and the convenience of the whole unwinding situation. Even so, some of the lavish hyperbole being thrown around today based on nothing but pure speculation is, at the very least, highly entertaining.

I'm suspecting that there is a substantial history here between the player's issues and management, and it sounds as though it could have extended as far back as acquiring the player. I suspect, on nothing more than the bits and pieces of information and rumor floating about, that while this probably has something to do with Richards' conditioning, it is more likely associated with a longer-term issue of his habits and attitude.

Then again there's that tweet that suggests a significant issue, which may not have been known about prior to Friday, was brought forth to management and ownership and may have been the final nail in the proverbial coffin.

It makes for interesting message board fodder, but I really wish these things didn't have to be so veiled and we had solid reasoning and excuses come forth from the outset.

What the hell did he do?
