I thought of a trade idea.

To TOR Richards

To LA Clarkson

Both players have literly no value and are buy candidates at the end of the year so it won't hurt to eat least try and swap them maybe change of scenery will make them play like they did two years ago when they were in their prime. They are the same age roughly as well similar contracts LA has a depth at centre and toronto doesn't Richards has an extra year and a little more cap so the Kings through in a low pick but as the leafs I would do it anyway 1 for 1 can't hurt right?

LA adds roster players and TOR adds picks.

I'm fairly certain that Richards contract is 5m/yr and Clarkson at 7m/yr. With LA hurting for cap space, they add 2M in players and TOR adds picks.

Either that or Toronto retains.

This makes no sense.
Clarkson has 4.5m
Richards has 8.5m

3.) 17 Feb 2015
Clarkson is at 5.75/year for 5 more years, Richards is at 5.75 for 5 more years. Interesting idea, could work for both sides

You guys don't know your facts clarkson is 5.25 Richards 5.75

5.) 17 Feb 2015
U both don't know what your talking about Richards would be 4.8 or 5.7 if his salary goes back to what it was before he went to ahl and Clarkson is 5.25 so where do u get Richards at 8.5 and Clarkson at 7 this is directed at the first two comments

what are you guys saying about these salaries lol

richards cap hit for the next 6 years: 5.75 mil

clarkson cap hit for the next 5 years: 5.25

clarkson makes more money in actual dollars by a fair amount due to his huge bonuses coming up though.

either way, I doubt a deal like that gets done, could be part of a larger deal maybe but even that's quite unlikely.
