Brad Richards retires from the NHL after 15 seasons
http://www.nhlpa.com/news/brad-richa...ter-15-seasons
Quote:
Brad Richards is announcing his retirement today from the National Hockey League (NHL), following a decorated career that spanned 15 seasons.
Richards played a total of 1,126 career NHL games with five different teams: Tampa Bay Lightning, Dallas Stars, New York Rangers, Chicago Blackhawks and Detroit Red Wings. The talented and highly skilled forward notched 298 goals and 634 assists for 932 points over the course of his career. He also eclipsed the 100-point plateau in career playoff scoring, registering 105 points in 146 postseason games.
“I want to thank the fans and the five organizations I have played for: Tampa Bay, Dallas, and the three original six teams — the New York Rangers, Chicago, and Detroit. During my time with those teams I met many great people. I also want to thank the staff and management in those organizations for all the help and support they gave me. I appreciate all the trainers who did tireless work to help me play and keep me healthy. I had many amazing teammates and made many great friendships along the way that I truly appreciate, and I will never forget the great times we had together. Thank you to all my coaches for pushing, teaching and giving me the opportunity to play this great game. Winning the Stanley Cups in Tampa Bay and Chicago was the best part of my career and I will never forget those moments. Nothing compares to enjoying that night with your team and knowing what you have accomplished together,” said Brad Richards.

Tell him to hand his ill-gotten Cup Ring and Conn Smythe to Jarome Iginla on his way out the door.
It was in.

If the rumors are correct the Flames offered him a 9 year deal, 4 more years.

between that and the O'Reilly fiasco, Feaster was straight up Neo with all the bullet dodging...well maybe if the bullets missed only because Neo slipped on a banana peel.

With his buyout from the Rangers, he's getting paid a little over $5 million this season, and then a little over $1 million a year for the next 9 seasons.

More like the world's worst Secret Service agent. Desperately trying to jump in front of the bullet only to have it miss him.

I will always wonder "what if" about that potential Tanguay-Richards-Iginla line

All thanks to Jay Faster, who made him the highest paid player in the game following the lockout. 5/38.

despite 2004, I have always liked Richards a lot and would have loved to see him in a Flames jersey. In hindsight, thank god he signed in New York!
amazing career in the end. Lecavalier, St Louis and Richards all gone from the NHL feels a bit weird.

The greater the odds, the greater the challenge.
Jay has been a victim of the closet ploy. I know it.

Flames would have finished 1 point out of the playoffs each year that line was together. All three would have had great stats though. And there would have been lots of smarmy 'I am doing my job' interviews from Tanguay.

Those jerseys were beautiful. Still have my Warrener jersey from that run and wear it from time to time.
