Retards running this Flyers team. Who trades their heart and soul in the prime of his career to keep a gay goalie?

Stupid..

I like the Carter deal but I don't see why this was needed as well. Guess the flyers brass didnt believe in what they had...

BTW LAK are going to be insane. Kopitar/Richards is a nice one/two. Both extremely good two way centers who can put up 70+, kopitar could reach 90-100 if they can land a winger.

This defies logic...Brayden Schenn at best compares to, Mike Richards. The locker room issues in PHI had to have been true.

Had to be some big time hatred between Carter and Richards or something..In the end they couldn't work it out, so Philly said fuck ya both... This is just unbelievable to me

I agree. I didn't think it was true but man there has to be something there for all this to go down. One of them traded thats fine but both? mikey seems like a character though.

Dustin Brown and Mike Richards are going to be the toughest line in hockey to play against next season...

It's crazy...You don't just deal two proven #1 centers, nevermind Mike Richards who is widely regarded as the standard for all captains...

Mike Richards for Duncan Seimans and Ted Purcell.

This is a legit offer to some real NHL GMs.

Want me to go post, Nick?

I'd prefer if you'd take your keyboard and repeatedly smash your own testicles.
