Great move by the Flyers. Not only is Richards really coming into his own as a player (75 points in 73 games last season), he's also just the type of leader the Flyers are looking for. He has the Philadelphia mentality, that toughness that players and fans will respect. And at 23 years-old and with a 12-year contract tucked away, Richards looks to cement himself as the next Flyers legend. There's something special about this guy.As a side note, I like the Flyers picking Timonen as an alternate. He was a great captain for the Preds and is by far the best D-man the Flyers have. If Gagne plays more than five games this season, he should also make an impact as a leader.
