He just left a team competing for the cup. He can say he wants to help bring a cup to Buffalo but it's clearly not the best place to make it happen

I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.
Brad May reported McCormik deal, who also has the same agent as Richards :hmm:

If you make something "Idiot-proof", they'll only make better idiots!
The Richards will get Richards
"Richards to Buffalo did not seem likely, or plausible to myself and many others UNTIL Mr. Pegula constructed Erhoff's front-loaded contract. 29 other NHL teams stand in awe of Pegula's financial fortitude and sense of urgency to attract and sign the best of the best players. A source told me that Richards places a high premium on a team's goaltending, as he did on Khabibulin in Tampa's Cup winning year in '04. I'm told that Richards holds Hank Lundqvist and Ryan Miller in high regard. Toronto's Reimer has not built a winning resume yet. Leafs will be a long shot. Stay tuned...."

So it's going to come down to the Sabres vs the Rangers...who can spend the most and who is more attractive. Hmmm....I'm getting excited!!!
Nope. He originally signed a 1-year qualifying offer. Now they just locked him up for 3-years.Originally Posted by CuseJetsFan83

I think you're arguing that the Sabres would win... Terry would absolutely go to meet him.Originally Posted by SkateZilla
According to capgeek.com the Sabres now have the 2nd largest payroll in the league.
For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.

I stillhave my fingers crossed on a ******ed stamkos deal. Let me have it for a few more minutes before the idea is totally killed.
But still have enough cap space for Richards.Originally Posted by Ebenezer
I was thinking about 70-75%. It depends on how big of an issue the coach is. He really liked playing for the Rangers coach. I have a feeling that the big contract to Ehrhoff is definitely helping sway him towards strongly considering the Sabres. And we know that Pegula, his wife and Lindy Ruff will most likely be at his house begging him to come, as of noon today. Plus, Pegula could sell 100,000 snow plows to Arizona. I have a feeling that he could easily sell the city of Buffalo to Richards.Originally Posted by X-Era
Awesome news! I love McCormick! I might get his jersey now....Originally Posted by CuseJetsFan83
