Richards heading to Rangers

[Guest]

Arguably the biggest prize in free agency is off the market.

Brad Richards has chosen to play with the New York Rangers and will agree to a nine-year deal for $58.5 million.

Richards had 28 goals and 77 points in 72 games with the Stars last season.

He spent his first seven years in the NHL with the Lightning, where he led Tampa to a Stanley Cup in 2004, while collecting the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP.

Richards has 220 goals and 496 assists in 772 career NHL games.

Brad Richards shooting at Ilya Bryzgalov when they are both 40 years old is gonna be awesome...or maybe Florida will trade for both of them by then

It's shit like this though that pisses me off about some playes. He knew he was going to New York, it wasn't even a question. Stars could have traded his rights to New York and got something, but the guy says no and declines, only to go and sign with them. I understand he has the right to do so, but that to me is just classless. Like the Sundin thing.

Why do we have so many threads for things already in the FA thread.

[leaffan]

Thomas went overboard it looks like.

I would of stuck everything in one thread except for trades and richards.

There's already a thread on Brad Richards going to the Rangers which was created days ago!

I always do this. I used to get paid by a defunct site to provide news and analysis during the NHL free agent frenzy.....now its just something I do for fun.

Yeah, I might have gone overboard with some threads, but honestly, far too much goes into the general discussion thread here. It makes it look like the forum is dead to visitors, which isn't the case at all. Just that everything goes into one place and sometimes news/discussion gets lost in other stuff.

From good old Biznasty

"After New York State Taxes, Brad Richards could buy every song on iTunes 5 times. Oh and 1.5 million Dances of the Lap."

So they gave him a NMC... He can't get put into the AHL without agreeing.

Probably just a limited no-movement clause: cannot be traded to Toronto.

I'm LOLing at all the Philly people who now have a worthless jersey. Every year I go see the Sabres play Philly, and all you all over that place is that fags jersey on people's back.

Suck dick Brad Richards.....I'm sure you're good at it. Go to the Rangers and have as great a time as Chris Drury did.
