Piggy Bank Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 They would get rid of Richards because he didnt play well and has a fat contract... Why would they want to add 2 worse players that add to more for them to pay than before... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relfk Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I personally believe in Booth and believe he'll be more useful than Richards in a few years so I wouldn't do this trade personally. Plus Richards has a scary contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magikal Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Richards has lost his edge. The Western Conference is a style of hockey that would be even harder for him to succeed in. No thanks to this deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 The last time the Rangers traded a contract like that out. Remind me again how many goals Gomez scored for Montreal? And how did the return benefit the Rangers again? Oh that's right...No, no and hell no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiznac Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Just wait till they buy him out then sign him...... Then you dont have to eat the massive contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dilly Canuck Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Richards must be in the top 5 for worst contracts in the NHL yet you wanna to take it on. There are much safer trades to be made than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canada Hockey Place Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 A couple of points FYI. If this trade happens: The best case scenario for VAN is if Richards can bounce back. I believe he will, I believe him when he says he had an off year due to the shortened season and I think could be a very good fit. It's a matter of opinion, I can understand if you disagree. The worst case scenario for VAN is if doesn't rebound AND refuses to retire. An amnesty buy-out next season would total $27m. But I don't believe a buy-out would happen. He can still be traded since cap and salary can be retained. Especially in the last 3 years in his contract where his actually salary would be $1m/year which makes him valuable to lower spending teams. The worst case scenario for NYR is if he retires. NY would be penalized the full amount in cap savings ($5.6m for the last 3 years of his contract). VAN does not get penalized if he retires. It is conceivable that should Richards decline, the Rangers will want him back even if it's to bury him in the minors because of this new rule. rules - http://www.capgeek.com/new-cba/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
