You know what the team needs? LEADERSHIP.
Mike Richards is a former captain of the Philadelphia Flyers. He won two Stanley Cups with the Los Angeles Kings. He has often been held up as a paradigm of leadership by Pierre McGuire.
He is also on waivers for the second time in his career.
Dean Lombardi previously waived Richards and his huge salary and obnoxiously long term (12 years $69 million, courtesy of the Flyers) last season, but no one claimed him. This was probably due to the fact that no team wanted to be on the hook for $5.
