when he gets moving he is very hard to knock off stride or off the puck. he is very agile and has quick feet for a big player. a consistent performer he is still fine tuning his overall game however his big thick frame coupled with skating skills makes him a very interesting prospect. seven teams expressed an interest in him however his choice was the Flyers and it appears to be a good one.

Richards has a very bright future in the Flyer organization, the NHL and possibly Hockey Canada.Ī former first round pick of the Vancouver Canucks, he was unable to come to contract terms and was subsequently traded to the Rangers who released him allowing him to sign with the Flyers as a free agent in the off season. strong work ethic, he exudes leadership abilities to compliment a generous skill set. defensively he always comes back, picking up a man in the process. strong along the half boards and maintains good positioning in the cycle game as he is able to fend off players and make accurate centering feeds in front of the goal, set up a Gagne goal as a result of his hard work. constantly stole pucks throughout contest by pick pocketing defenders who were slow leaving the zone. extremely smart, his hockey sense and keen anticipation skills make him a complete player and mature beyond his years. his ability to adapt to game situations and try new things shows he is a quick study of the game. skating may be a drawback, he does however exhibit good short straight away bursts of speed. he has been in over five fights this season and is not afraid to mix it up in an attempt to rally the troops. his ability to excel in all aspects of the game has endeared him to his teammates and especially the coaching staff. Carter has not even begun to reveal what he is capable of he has managed to pick up his game after a slow start and seems much more comfortable in the league which is good for the Flyers but bad news for the other 29.įew players in the league play with more heart and dedication than Richards. his shot could use a little more work as far as power is concerned. defensively he comes back and effectively reads broken plays and aggressively attacks the puck carrier in an effort to clear the zone. not overly physical but he absorbs hits well and will work the puck in the corners in an attempt to make plays. getting bigger and stronger, a bout with mono stunted his physical development in the off season but his shoulders are very broad and he should be able to add at least another 25 pounds to his frame in the next season or two. long reach makes him effective in all areas of the ice as he is able to shift his big frame rather easily in either direction making strong plays on either the fore hand or back hand.
