A former captain of the Philadelphia Flyers, Mike Richards was a late 1st Round Pick in the 2003 Draft who would impress everyone with his two-way skills. The former Centre would have four straight 60 Point seasons (including an 80 Point one) from 2007-08 to 2010-11 where he also received Frank J. Selke Award votes each season. This included a runner-up campaign, which coincided with the 80 Point season mentioned earlier.
Richards would be named an All Star in 2008 and his expertise on the Penalty Kill would see him lead the National Hockey League in the 2008/09 season in Short-Handed Goals.
Richards would later in his career assist the Los Angeles Kings win two Stanley Cups.
