Yes, you are right. But where were the Flyers going to get their above average goalie being pressed against the cap and not being able to trade Carter or Richards? The Kings has the luxury of a top line, solid defense, and stud goaltender before adding Richards and Carter.
If the Kings called up Homer and said lets trade back Richards for Schenn, Simmonds, and pick would you? I love Richards and Carter, but making it to the cup finals was probably the peak of that team. If you couldve swapped out Briere for Kopitar and Leighton for quick, flyers are probably looking at a dynasty, but look what happened 2 years ago, almost losing to Buffalo and then getting demolished by Boston. It wouldve took striking gold in the draft for the Flyers to have a chance.
