Flyers trade Mike Richards to L.A. Kings

The Philadelphia Flyers blowout has continued.

The team has traded captain Mike Richards to the L.A. Kings for forwards Brayden Schenn and Wayne Simmonds, as well as a second-round draft pick.

The Richards trade coincides with the club’s decision to move center Jeff Carter to the Columbus Blue Jackets.  With the moves the Flyers cleared approximately $110 million in salary commitments.  Both had no trade clauses set to kick in in 2012, as well.
