That sort of completely blew me away today when I saw that. I was so "wtf'd" over it I actually immediately texted Dylan just because I felt the need to share that insane knowledge no matter how vague.

I actually couldn't believe they traded Richards. Teams hardly (at least in my current knowledge) rarely trade captains away, because they're usually the face of a team, and a switch of captains usually happens gracefully, and not by gutting your top line.

I can't wait until Bryzgalov undoubtedly flops massively due to the pressure of a fucking 9 year contract for 51 mil. I'm not saying he's a horrible goalie, but I mean, come on, the guy's only had 2 seasons with more than 30 wins. That doesn't strike me as a safe bet for a long-term contract, especially when they have up and coming prospects. That's got to be so disheartening for them. There goes their entire future with that team.
