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

Say "hello" to my little friend:

Any other questions?

Who thinks Simmonds would have had even close to the offensive numbers playing here in L.A.?

< crickets >

I'm glad he's done well, but he's also a product of their shoot first, second and last and play no D.

I would be prefectly happy if Simmonds and Schenn one day win a Cup, then this would truly be a winner/winner trade.

It may have taken 6 months to orchestrate, but Carter/Richards ended up being a package deal. I do not think the Kings win the Cup without 3 things happening

1) Sutter
2) Richards trade
3) Carter trade

Any when they start this next season, I like them to make another run.

So the real question is: Do you still trade Schenn, Simmonds, Johnson and a 1st for Richards and Carter?

The obvious answer is an even more resounding YES!

Ab-so-****in-lutely!!!

No regrets, no way, no how!

All those beer and milk bottles I've searched for all over town tell me so.

Think about the deal this way...

Richards and Carter to the Kings for Schenn, Simmonds, Jack Johnson, a first and a second. Do you do that deal?
