NEW YORK —
USA Today is reporting the Rangers have officially
bought out the remainder of Brad Richards’s contract. With that, come July 1, he will likely be able to sign anywhere else. Now this is purely speculation -- but let’s say Richards wants to stay in the neighborhood. Could he consider | could Lou Lamoriello consider signing him?
In no way am I suggesting this is what I think would happen -- nor am I suggesting this would improve the Devils [and do they ever need to improve before September]. Instead, I am just throwing it out there for fans to discuss.
Speaking of which, please discuss away in the comments section below, on Google+ or on our Facebook Group message board. Would you want Brad Richards in a Devils’ uniform?
Randy Miller, who covers the Devils for NJ.com, says today there is no way the Devils should consider throwing money at Brad Richards to lure him to Newark, this despite Richards’s 20-goal regular season -- and excellent locker-room leadership.
