I'd say Buffalo won this trade because Phion got Andrew MacWilliam, future 60 pt dman.

[kyuss]

looks like a swap Richards/Pacioretty, so Buffalo wins this.

You guys had us all going with the "minor deal" in the title haha.

[Robin Hood]

Oh and B rich >>> pacs so Buf wins

[hong57]

lol.. i read minor deal and i scan thru and i didn't notice richards and pac coz of "minor deal" until everyones comment then i was like wow...

[armandtanzarian]

Safe to say any title that reads minor deal or Boom, is anything but minor.

Oh and B rich >>> pacs so Buf wins

Hardly.

Pacioretty put up almost as many points as Richards and is a way better contributor across the board. Richards may have more offensive potential moving forward, but typically the Rangers and Torts as a coach don't produce too many high-end offensive players so the days of Richards hitting 85+ points are over. Not to mention the age and gap.

If they were both wingers, Pac>>>Richards, but given that Richards is a centre the value is pretty even to me.

[armandtanzarian]

I offered Wheeler for Patches. Him getting a C in return is pretty good value. Brich is pretty solid but so is Patches and i still think he is going higher...

[kimmer]

disapponting return for b rich... i really think my offer trumps the shit out of this lol and i offfered all the pieces for b rich alone

[Lee]

John Scott is the stat of this deal. Cara-esque size!!!1

[thom54]

Interesting that some people start to say how good richards is as soon as he's dealt lol. With many of the packages it came down to how people in their own eyes valuated the prospects/picks that they were giving up.

With futures so much of it is through that vision that alters a valuation. I am happy with the deal and it doesn't force me to lose any other pieces off my roster. I had to cut 6 million from it to get near the threshold. Now I am there. Future packages wouldn't give me a young, contributing NHL forward; and because of how prospects work...no certainty that another GM would love prospect/young UNestablished NHLer as much as the other.

lol this league is amazing. One slow season and a proven player's value plummets. One good season and a player's value skyrockets - especially if said player is young. Patches isn't close to B Rich's level yet.
