Your strategy (and Homer's) of trading those picks for the slight chance of winning now put this team first in a position where the team had to be blown to pieces, and led to the position the team is in now. It's a spectacularly failed strategy. You are advocating a failed strategy. Based on Homer's last year or two and the fact that he has moved away from such moves, he seems to think it was a failed strategy too.
I would take Richards over Schenn, Simmonds, and a 3rd in a heartbeat. Then again, if I were GM we wouldn't have needed to trade him because I wouldn't have drained the prospect pool to build the team irresponsibly and put them against the wall. This team of lazy quitters needs a guy with heart who never quits and also happens to be one of the best two way forwards in the game.
