I have an ongoing debate with a buddy of mine about Mike Richards. I think the Caps should take a flyer (pun intended) on him and sign him to a two-way contract, league minimum deal.

Richards has won at every level (junior, minors, Olympics, NHL), was always a hell of a penalty killer, and has worn a C and an A on his jersey before.
