Penner is useless. He had one good year in Anaheim's run to the finals and has had a half-season of good hockey ever since. They traded arguably one of their best prospects (Schenn) and a gritty heart-and-soul player (Simmonds) for Richards which is a toss-up in terms of value.
Everyone needs to relax. Besides, after last season, I don't care about what the Canucks do in the regular season so long as they make the playoffs playing well (whether that means a lower or higher seed - it doesn't matter.)

You're right it doesn't. In the summer of 1994, we traded for Alex Mogilny, but we got bounced in the 2nd round. But Philly's problems last year were goaltending and a division in the locker room between Pronger and Richards. As far as I know, we don't have any divisions in the locker room and we still have the league's best goaltending duo.
