He'll be a solid #2 center behind Toews - they've needed to fill that spot for years

For some reason it feels like Chicago has unlimited cap space.

Ugh, he's going to be a good fit there. He'll slide in under the radar in a depth role and will make that strong team even stronger.

Great fit there especially if he's moderately cheap. As a 2nd line C, he's perfect.

Wonder how this will affect their cap space.

EDIT: Meaning - what other transactions might be coming as a result

Ya perfect position.. he can switch off with Kruger for 2nd unit PP/PK if need be and be a good second or third option down the middle. Good move for him with a great chance to win.

Does this mean that Sharp is on his way out of Chicago?

Good signing unless they expect any kind of production out of him in the playoffs. He was next to useless for the entire Rangers run

Wow.. good signing depending on the money and term. They just fulfilled what they are looking for, another centre without getting rid of any good player. That is if he only sign cheap.

Bowman should probably send Sather a gift basket of sorts for allowing him to sign Richards for cheap. Why would he need to care about money when the Rangers are paying most of his previous contract for the next decade?

CHI deal with Richards is believed to be a one-year deal.

Good signing for Hawks. Should fit in nicely there. As long as they didn't pay to much which I doubt they did.

Edit: 2 million? Steal.
