So it was Richards and Carter's partying that got them traded from Philly:


Dan Gross: Partying prompted parting? | Philadelphia Daily News | 07/25/2011

Dan Gross of the Philadelphia Daily News got to the bottom of those rumors and was told by two unnamed Flyers that the partying lifestyle was the reason for the Carter and Richards deals.


As the captain of the Flyers, not showing much leadership if you refuse to make that pledge.

Stupid fucken pledge tho, these guys are adults not children and the best feeling after a hard game is having a ice cold beer while trying to relax.

Except in the case of Richards and Carter it was way beyond having a beer after games. From what I've heard from guys I know that play in the league, it was constant benders till 4am on days before practices and games which not only became an issue affecting performance but many also saw it as a sign of not respecting the coach and management and some veterans on the team.

Their constant partying also apparently started to affect the personal/family lives of some of their teammates as well. This isn't like most of the Canucks who drink and party somewhat responsibly, this was way overboard.

It'll be interesting to see how Carter does now as Columbus is a huge party town with OSU there.

as captain of any team, you have you set the example. clearly that wasn't the way to do it..

I didn't realize they were going on benders like that. Man people need to have more self control sometimes

Yeah weren't there leak photos of Richards and Carter partying??

hahaha found this on CDC...

Interesting..I always thought Carter was shipped out cause he fucked Hartnell's wife while Richards had a leadership tension with Pronger

Read between the lines, constant partying/drinking started to affect the lives of teammates personal/family lives. Not signing the pledge repeatedly was a slap in the face of the coach and veteran leaders on the team, ie... Pronger


Well for any team to have to institute a policy like the no drinking pledge repeatedly, you have to realize there is a massive underlying problem for them to come to that with grown adults.

Kris Draper to announce retirement tomorrow it appears

hahaha did not know that future considerations = $1

Not HoF worthy but Draper was probably the NHL's best bottom six guy for a long, long time. Great career.

tell that to darren mccarty :lol

hope to see richards and brown FSU this season

Nux sign 6'5" Byron Bitz
Canucks sign right winger Bitz - sportsnet.ca WAP

Nucks stacking up on size and grit

6'5" and only 215lbs? He better get some mass on him, he should be 230 at a minimum.

could actually see him cracking the lineup on the 4th with a good camp.



but damn im eager to see what MG does. all this depth and farm team signings are fun and all, but i want to see him someone ive heard of before who will be a real impact player. hah.
