Richards came over to the Kings in an offseason trade following another solid season (23 G, 43 A) for the Flyers. He did a lot of his damage on special teams for the Flyers and he figures to get a heavy dose of power-play time for the Kings as well. It's expected that Richards will be reunited with Simon Gagne after the pair enjoyed some success when skating together in Philadelphia. He'll center one of the Kings' top two lines with Anze Kopitar centering the other. (Updated 10/4/11)
