Thread: The Mike Richards for Simmonds/Schenn/2nd Round Pick - Still Do It?

Edit....
The OP said Philly hat not Flyers hat. Big difference. No way in hell he wore a Flyers hat but who gives a **** if he wore a Phillies or Eagles hat? I sure as hell don't.

"All things considered, I'd rather be in Philadelphia."

Well this one's pretty much put to bed. When talking about hindsight a much more interesting question might be
"That taco bell last night- Still do it?"

Absolutely. The ability to dutch oven is priceless. You have to make that deal every day and twice on Sunday.

The answer to that question is always No.

That event alone made that Hawaii trip the best one I've ever had. A few weeks later, I was in Vegas and I placed a bet on the Kings to win it all. A year later, I was at Game 3 of the SCF and then attended the parade and rally shortly after. Would I make the trade again? Surely, you jest! I'd drive Simmonds and Schenn to the airport. I never missed either guy a single second because I turned the page as soon as Richards became a King.

You just reminded me, This was the first year in as long as I can remember, I did not make a bet on the Kings in Vegas. I usually make the bet every summer, this year I didn't go (wouldn't you know). Oh well, It was still great!

This was the only year I ever have. The odds unfortunately had gotten as low as 10-1 which is what I ended up getting. Still, it eventually paid for my SCF Game 3 premier seat!

Same here, and I will never place that bet again.

The only thing I regret about the trade was not including JJ and 1st in it to get Carter as well, but then again, that could have changed everything...I'd do the Richards deal on any day that ends in "Y".

Hummm, let's see:

Trade Simmonds and Schenn and 2nd for Richards and then win the Stanley Cup

or

Don't do the trade and 99% chance not to win the Stanley Cup,

Hummm, give me a couple days to decide on this =)
