Konnan511 1,736 Report post Posted June 24, 2011 In 2-3 years ... Kimmo Timonen will be 38-39. Chris Pronger will be 38-39. Danny Briere will be 35-36. Ilya Bryzgalov will be 34-35. You don't think that is an issue? Well obviously the defensive situation will need to be fixed, but they didn't trade away any defensemen. They can find a top 4 DMan with their pick in the upcoming draft, and they can get a DMan or two through free agency in the upcoming years. Bryz and Briere should still be highly effective players at those ages, and even Pronger can be highly effective in his early 40s as well. They seem more than fine.

Motown4013 350 Report post Posted June 24, 2011 The bigger wtf moment is when they also sign an unproven goalie to nearly a decade deal. Heck, I wouldn't sign any goalie to a long term like that. Proven or not. Agreed...Two words...RICK DEPIETRO. Eek Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toby91_ca 620 Report post Posted June 24, 2011 What does this say about Richards as a leader? Pierre McGuire used to gush and gush and gush over him and his leadership, but all I've been hearing is that Philly needed to get him out of that locker room.

Maybe they didn't want his cheapshots on the tam anymore? he's a good player, but maybe you are right and he wasn't the consummate team player he has been made out to be?

IllinoisRedWingsFan 49 Report post Posted June 25, 2011 Has anyone ever considered what the Richards trade might mean for the Kings especially with Doughtry????? We could go after him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Travis 576 Report post Posted June 25, 2011 Has anyone ever considered what the Richards trade might mean for the Kings especially with Doughtry????? We could go after him. We could try, but the Kings have $15mil to sign 6 players. They're a lot more likely to move someone like Scuderi before they part with Doughty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although, is PK really all that special in terms of a motor mouth and disrespecting players? Have Burrows and Lapierre gotten this kind of of flack? I'm actually asking because I'm really not sure.
