I just read a scoop for those who had requested that the Leaf get Mike Richards, that he may get buyout by the Kings after the post season is over and that the Leaf are very interested to get is service via a contract or a trade.

Heard a buyout is just about guaranteed. don't think leafs would touch that contract with a 10 foot pole

Why would Richards from the Kings get bought out? They are not true rumours. Brad Richards of the Rangers may get bought out though

3.) 04 Jun 2014
^because he's playing on their 3rd/4th line and has like 7 more years of 5+ million

^

Both of them might get bought out.

If I were the Leafs I'd rather have Richards, a proven winner, leadership and can be the captain Leafs need. I would take his contract and leadership over Phaneuf's any day. He can play on the 3rd day on Leafs. why not.

I doubt Richards is bought out he will be traded for low value probably in the neighborhood of 2 2nd round picks but its a dump on LA's part.

Playing on the 3rd and 4th line because he is on a team that has Kopitar, Carter and Stoll. He is and can play on the second line and produce, but he's buying to sutter's system and being a team player. As for Brad Richards he has only had a bad playoffs last year. He's 4th in scoring on the rangers only 2 points from being 1st. Everything that is being said^ is complete non sense.

Leafs need a guy like richards on and off ice. Leafs need a captain/ leader.

I was not a surprise to hear Brad Richards name to be a candidate to be buy out this off season but Mike Richards I was surprised to hear is name in the list, maybe because he as strugle all season long and he not a factor on Kings succes this post season

If richards gets bought out, leafs can sign him to a new contract. But I doubt this will happen, some other team will provide him with a better contract.
