NYR will not be using their remaining compliance buyout this summer so Brad Richards will remain a Blueshirt.

Terrible decision. Don't know what else to say, and where they go from here.

Only if he gets injured. Its worth saying that throughout his career, he's been very, very healthy.

This literally only hurts is if he gets injured. Otherwise it only makes the roster better imo.

Didn't he break both of his wrists in Dallas? And he also suffered a concussion a seas later after the Rangers tried trading for him.

what is the deal with McDonagh and Stepan's ability to receive offer sheets?

anyone know the exact answer?

because we are insanely vulnerable right now

this is not the right direction if we keep richards
is it official that we keep richards?

no because he's blocking miller and lindberg, we need a big winger no richards, is this official?
- webleedblue

Zucc is also blocking them. Having zucc and Richards here really kills any size/beef/toughness being added; or kept in clowes case.

Sure hope sather has a plan but I don't like this Richards decision at all

I believe... Stepan we can take to arbitration, so he cant get offer sheeted. Were screwed with McDonagh if we dont sign him soon.

Ok, yea, wasnt totally sure which one was which.

Injuries are inevitable tho so they'll get their playing time eventually. Assume we dont have richards and Miller and lindberg are on the roster and someone gets hurt. We'll be forced to use a guy like newbury.

i don't get it, we have a first line center in stepan, brassard is perfect as #2 and miller or lindberg at #3 is good, why keep richards who i just hated the entire season

if we would buy out richards we would bring in another player

Callahan and Hagelin will be out the first couple of weeks, so we might get a chance to see the kids for a couple weeks.

Brutal decision

It's not like any of our centers are like kopitar, backes, etc. that crash the net or bang bodies. All 3 are playmakers without a body checking bone in either if there bodies we got like 30 friggin set up men and 1 scorer on this whole team


So frustrated with this team and its direction at this point

If Bob McKenzie reports it, its about as official as it gets.

everybody can be wrong?

October starts again with the :

"Shoot the effing puck!"

"Another effing pass!"

"Can anyone hit the fking net!"

everybody can be wrong?

Not Bob.

Brutal decision

I can't tell you how unhappy I'm right now. What the frank is going on?

Stepan or Brassard are going to get moved for a big time winger.
