Richard's lack of foot speed looks like a problem with this team, and I'm torn on where exactly he fits in. Obviously, the 3rd line is not where he was expected to land after only a game or two and Shaw looks ready to have a good season wherever he plays. I still look at Shaw as a 3rd line player who has fit in well with Bickell in the past. Personally, I'd like to see Q move Richards back with Kane for balance purposes, but we'll see how this progresses. Rchards foot speed has never been his strength but with his playmaking ability, I am confident he will be more useful in the top 6 (meanwhile Shaw will solidify line 3, which is considerably less formidable without him).
