I must agree with Benny here. Kesler has fit in well with the Moose for a rookie, but having watched him up close and personal a dozen times or so this year, he doesn't impress that much. His intensity level is nowhere near Richards, and the effort on some shifts could be questioned. His size is very nice, and he works the boards and the crease very well, but I don't see him having the hands to put up first or second line type points. He kind of reminds me of Jason Arnott, good in spurts, but not consistent.
Richards is very much a Steve Yzerman type player with less skill. He'd do anything to win, and leads with his effort.
I don't know, time will tell, but I expect that Richards will become the better all around NHL'er.
