Numerous reports that Brad Richards has been bought out by the New York Rangers. The 34-year-old center had six years remaining at $6.67 Million.

Quick hit for now with a full rumor update and chart update following the Podcast at 1pm...

We discussed this possibility the other day on the podcast and I had a source text me he was surprised this hadn't yet gotten out there.

The rumored deal he had heard was:

Jason Spezza, and Ottawa's 2nd and 3rd this year for Sharp + a conditional pick next year if Spezza is extended.

UPDATE: Also Pierre Lebrun is reporting the Rangers have indeed bought out Brad Richards.
