No, he's not. Where do you come up this

Yes, he is. He takes way too many risks. Makes some great plays, makes more gaffes.

I come up with it because it's the truth. Very below average defensively.

Brad Richards had 77 points last year. Richards had 66 playing injured all year.

Oscar Klefbom for Edm second pick.

HUGE project player.

Jesus (frank)ing christ. They compare him to Douglas Murray. Seriously not even CLOSE.

Richards played in 10 less games. Would've had 85-90 points if he had played all year. He also played injured, and didn't have the talent Richards had here.

I agree with that. I dont know if Richards is worth that kind of money imo. But I still think this team is going to add a name player just not sure who yet.

Im not advocating spending 7+ on him, just stating he was also hurt and playing with less talent.

ive made it known I want Stamkos haha. or just get Laich, Leino and Konopka

Depends on how his bonuses are structured. I would think around $2 M but that's not based on anything concrete.
