Official NHL Free Agent Frenzy Thread (B. Richards Update!)

[bojohnson]

wow, someone needs to get off his pedestal

9 teams in 14 years

The guy is clearly a cancer in the dressing room
But I'll stop now

I do not understand what Homer romp. It really what he wants, the Flyers to make it playing in white gloves? Leaving players as Leino, Carter, Richards & Carcillo and coming grandfather Jagr, a weakling Voracek and Lilja ? It is the rope or guillotine. Homer could eliminate someone.

I'm just hoping that the Leafs don't sign Brad Richards. Last thing we need is another immovable mammoth contract of a potentially underachieving player (well if he plays for Toronto that is).

And in a move that surprises probably nobody...

Brad Richards is going to the Rangers. 9 years - some fluctuation on the dollar value, with a couple sources saying $57M and another $58.5M.

As always, heavily front-loaded.

So he can go to the Rangers and suck like everyone else who signs with the Rangers in the most recent time lol

TSN is reporting 58.5 for 9 years ,Stamkos being a FA could blow the roof off some ones cap today..But I believe him to be resigning with Lighting, Yzerman wont let him go that easy

I guess he doesn't want to win right away.... if he did, he should have gone to LA

Richards - another player buried in the NYR, congratulations

Richards signing was 9 years, $60 Million

[avstars]

The money per year for Richards is good, but I am surprised he would want to commit 9 years with them. The Rangers have potential, but no sure bet to win a cup in the next 9 years. Hopefully he has an opt out cause.
