Why not? Because Richards' contract is 2 years longer than Stajan's, also has a cap hit of about $2.65M more and he's NOT $2.65M better than Stajan anymore.
And who's to say Richards isn't also what he is at this point, which is only BARELY better that Stajan on the ice. Even on this Flames team, Richards would realistically only be the 4th line centre and at almost $6 million dollars.
Richards is not worth the risk.
