To think we almost traded Kesler burrows and was it edler for this guy?

Kesler and Edler apparently. It is said that Nonis actually had the stones to not acquiesce to Aquaman's demands. Maybe he didn't deserve to be nicknamed "Nonuts" after all.

Sorry for the bump (didn't think it deserved it's own thread, that's why putting this in here), here are some interesting comments made by Brad Richards.

 

Richards admits that it was probably a mistake signing with the Red Wings.

 

"It didn’t seem like we ever got firing on all cylinders, just probably wasn't a great fit for me," Richards told The Guardian's Jason Malloy.

 

"I want to look at free agency and see who calls and what opportunities are there, but I haven’t made my mind up with what I want to do yet."

Not sure any team in a good fit for Richards anymore

For the right price Richard would still be a good option for many teams. 

 

A return to Chicago would make a lot of sense. Richards wouldn't get much, maybe around $1 million but he's not likely to earn more elsewhere.

I don't think Richards is THAT bad. Not a guy you slot into your top six opening day but someone you put on your fourth line and have him move into that top six when injuries hit. He scored at a 34 point pace last year. Out of centres who played between 60-75 games (Richards played 68) he finished 30/56. Not great, but worth a cheap contract for sure.
