At the time Penner went to LA he was Edmonton's leading scorer. When LA got Richards and Carter went to Columbus. I was like it would be so weird if both of them ended up in LA but it would be impossible. When Carter went to LA after not even staying a year in Columbus it was pretty obvious what was going on.
First of all, Philly and Columbus were incredibly stupid in their trades and lots of things didn't match considering the circumstances of everyone involved.
