I wouldn't mind trading for Richards if NY would eat half the salary and cap hit. He isn't likely to play the last 3 years of his contract since they are all 1M pay years. That would leave him with 4 more years left and a (50%) cap hit of 3.333M per year. He would have to agree to waive his NMC in 2017 so that if he wants to keep playing he could be traded to a cap floor team if needed. Unlikely that it would work out since I doubt Richards would be co-operative about it since he would almost certainly prefer the payout.
