If Richards continues to play like he has thus far this year, he'll end up being one hell of a bargain for the Flyers over the next decade or so.

Damn, 12 years eh? I dread the idea of that length of a contract becoming the "norm" in the NHL. The league is just not solvent enough anymore to handle too many of those, especially if they are guaranteed contracts. I know the NFL does not have guaranteed (except the bonus), and the idiotic NBA does have guaranteed contracts. I believe baseball is guaranteed contracts as well, right? Not sure about the NHL though. Can anyone enlighten me?
