Didn't you all notice how good he was against Calgary?
Me neither. I did notice his faceoff percentage was 45% despite going 2-2 against softies Hudler and Granlund (he went 0-1 against Stajan, 1-3 against backound and 2-5 against MOnahan).
Richards has just over .3 PPG with a -7 to go with it. Calgary's 4th line centre Stajan has just under .3 and is +2. At a lower price and lower term.
Why Calgary would trade for an older player with 5 years left on a contract at close to $6M is beyond me, and not what this team is trying to do long term.
