Brad Richards appreciation thread

[nevesis]

He's no longer the clear cut buy out.

Yes he is.

Lollerblading at the thought of this fanbase dealing with Toews' interviews

If Richards/Callahan produced like Towes, I don't think anyone would have an issue. At least he would show emotion and curse a lot.

 

[Hi ImHFNYR]

Yes he is.

If he has an 80 point season I'm not sure he is going to be cut and it is depending largely on what is going to happen with the cap soon. If the FO determines that the cap is goingto rise and provide a nice buffer over the next 5 years then there is no reason to cut him. If however we cannot re-sign certain players this off season then yes he will be let go despite playing well again

We have this player named Henrik Lundqvist who's contract is up at the end of this season. NBD tho.

 

[Mr Atoz*]

Yeah, he's just having a good season to piss us off that we have to cut him at the end of it. We would have been happier to cut him before this season so he could do good for someone else so we could hate him even more. Or something like that.

Yes he is.

Ageed. Brad Richards is playing for his next contract.
No matter how good Brad is he likely gets bought out because of cap recapture penalties.
My questions are

Would Brad be amendable to coming back after a buyout?
Is Brad never going to be a regular center again? Is this kinda like when a CB goes to safety or SS to 3B as he just has lost speed and range?

He can't
