They're not going to be terrible but they're definitely not as strong. If they are, it will be because Schenn grew quick and stepped in. All those guys are great players but Mike Richards is a top tier guy. He's basically the East Coast Kesler. This trade is like if Kes and Burr hated...well, there's no old guy on our blueline right now I guess but you can see how it would be retarded to trade Kes and Burr.
They've traded two guys you can build a team around but if the locker room rumors are true, I guess this is the only solution because you aren't trading or buying out Pronger. His contract counts as over 35.
