Next season they'll have lost two thirds of their top line, the main reason they were successful earlier in the season, other then Benn.

No skin off our backs, though. I'll take Richards and run.

Our center depth instantly becomes credible, and our PP, in theory, instantly becomes credible.

There's an inherent risk when talking about big money acquisitions. But, with the pedigree there, the potential for success outweighs the risk, IMO.

Tortorella-Richards connection.

Stanley Cup, Conn Smythe.

Leader.

Elite level skill.

The ONLY risk is he won't perform. I doubt very much he hits a wall all of a sudden.
No it doesn't. With another disaster on the cap the whole team is ****ed.
