TDemko16 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 If Canucks can sign Mike Richards cheap 1/1 or 1/1.5 I would do it. Brings experience to Canucks young players in Horvat, Baertschi, etc. He's the definition of clutch. Apparently Bo is a fan of Mike Richards. Here's a stat! Mike Richards has 54 points in the playoffs alone since 2010! Meanwhile Sedins have done what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whale Tail Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Sedins have remained healthy and productive. Can't say the same for Richards. I bet if the Sedins were on the king teams during their 2 cup runs they would have some extra points too.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drsofthands Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 What would be the point? Would it help us this year? a bit, but were still not contending, so why take away from the development of a young player, who would have his spot taken.

Fanuck Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 JB and TL know better than to expose the future of this team to that type of element. Any minimal positives he'd bring to the team on-ice would be nullified by his off-ice choices. Let him have his 4th chance with some other club. I'm not afraid of taking the NIMBY stance on this one.

Yes getting Richards makes no sense for us to you, me, and most every Canuck's fan, but to some that might be different. Should we assume we can mind read the intentions of others? No to Richards. Simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil_314 Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Honestly I would be alright if the team brought him in as a 4th liner to take defensive responsibilities as I'm not sure what Granlund can do in that role (Markus did have a better CF% but his face-off percentage was pretty low last season at 40%, and I'm not sure how effective it would be to ease him in as a 4th liner if the team wants more out of him). What's more, maybe the team could focus the Twins on offense by giving the other lines more defensive starts? I think that's a way that the team could benefit from a Richards signing (grit, winning experience and face-off success notwithstanding, plus maybe he could still play up the lineup when needed). Now people may cite character or other issues, but the value is there on the ice if he can be had for a bargain. What's more, even the worst guys can still turn things around and there's no harm in giving him a shot when character guys e.g. Twins are still around and leading the room.
