apparently thats what holmgren thought

- steelydan

I dig the Goth look of that chick. Although, the fact that she dresses like that leads me to believe it is another one of Holmgren's failures as a GM.

He has to be forced into that position know. You cant shove him in a defensive role and expect scoring. Give hin 2nd line duties with skilled players. An injured Umberger and a struggling Matt Read are not going to help his numbers. Not only that, what has Schenn shown that Coots hasn't?

I'm bolding that whole (frank)ing paragraph just to put more emphasis on how spot on that comment it

Streit has absolutely made this team better since he has arrived and if we traded him tomorrow, we would absolutely be a worse team. Aside from his point production, Streit has been a great locker room guy and leader for this team and leads by example each game he's out there. Probably one of the more ideal veteran guys you would want around for these young prospects we have coming up in the near future. Even though he could be traded and bring us more assets, which is even more of a plus to have him.

Well right now we are at the point of Deal Streit or Deal MDZ. Doesnt look like we can have both

So you want Hextall to repeat the same mistakes of previous Flyers GMs? Go old and win now at all costs? It's going to take time to fix the damage Holmgren did.
- jstross

completely missing my point.

What we are having a hard time grasping is why you think having Striet prevents any of that? Mention AMAC fine. Schenn, fine. VLC, fine. RJ, fine.

Striet has been a bargain and lived up to every dollar of his contract so far.

but on the other guy's post you can agree... make up your mind.

yep them ny islanders are really struggling since they traded amac and streit! im so glad we robbed them blind

LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles Kings have terminated the contract of forward Mike Richards, the club announced today.

The club has issued the following statement and will not comment any further at this time:

“The Los Angeles Kings today have exercised the team's right to terminate the contract of Mike Richards for a material breach of the requirements of his Standard Player's Contract. We are not prepared to provide any more detail or to discuss the underlying grounds for the contract termination at this time.”




So, uh, is this different from a buyout then?

Make up my mind about two completely different topics? You really are a confusing sad person.

Yes, sounds like it.

MB, hockey opinions are binary. Once two people disagree on a thing, you may only think one or the other, and only in an absolute fashion.

There are zero shades of gray.

Interesting wording. I wonder if this is a different situation than a straight buyout? Seems like it would be.

You bet it is.

Holy poop, I can't even imagine what the Kings are trying to do here.

- MBFlyerfan

They are likely saying that Richards violated some term of the contract.

IOW, this is probably going to get real ugly.

Makes it sound as if he did something to void his contract.. Didnt know there were violations in the players contract that could void them.

Richards has a drug problem it sounds

Wow.
- Tomahawk

Mike Richards off ice rumors in 3...2...1....

im sad person now? yea ok well dont reply to my posts then. (frank) you
- JoeRussomanno

Frank has nothing to do with this. You like to argue for the sake of arguing, claim your opinions as fact, and then complain like a little child when people call you on it. Boo hoo.

that as well.
except edmonton.
which, if they wanted the best return possible was stupid. they probably could have gotten 2 skilled roster forwards for Hamilton.
- nails

They tried to trade him to Edmonton but Sweeney wanted Darnell Nurse and for Edmonton that was a non starter.

Richards has a drug problem it sounds
- Winning

This is exactly how rumors get started..

I would think there would be some sort of drug/alcohol treatment center stay prior to this.

It could be something as simple as him not conditioning in the off season

- johndewar

Maybe their loophole is the fact that Lombardi wanted him in better shape, he didn't get in better shape, bang violation of contract?

Interesting none the less.

- MBFlyerfan

you got a big mouth but im glad you can hide behind a computer screen either way its a FACT that tomahawk backed up my opinion, and you agreed with it, but then wanna argue with me. who's the little child now?

You bet it is.

Holy poop, I can't even imagine what the Kings are trying to do here.
- johndewar

Oh, my.

That sounds like he got caught doing something.

Because everyone knows that they want cap relief, and that they've tried to trade him, and that they were buying him out.

The only way you try to terminate his deal is if he straight-up got caught doing something
