9 yrs. at 58.5 million. The Sabres could have afforded that but I bet the reports yesterday were true - he was willing to give the Rangers the chance to match any offer - and they did. He wanted to play there.

Re: Richards signs with Rangers
I wish free agents would just shut the F up when it comes down to free agency sometimes. All the, "I want to play for a contender", "I want to go to a place without a lot of media (unconfirmed)" and "I will give every offer serious consideration" is all crap sometimes. I know it is a "game" they play, but they could still do it without giving fans false hope. It came out almost immediately that he wanted the Rangers and that they had the last shot at it. -

"A lot of media" can be translated - I want to go where I can escape the local media. Very hard to do in Buffalo even if we only had one newspaper and one radio station........Originally posted by chernobylwraiths

Re: Richards signs with Rangers
They will NEVER escape the media, wherever they go. The only good thing about going to a place like NYC is that they will be anonymous. There are so many people and in the city baseball and football are king, nobody will give a crap about them.Originally posted by Ebenezer"A lot of media" can be translated - I want to go where I can escape the local media.

Re: Richards signs with Rangers
I don't think it is any worse here than anywhere else media wise, and a whole lot better than many others. We only have a few here, where the bigger markets have one from each paper and publication.Originally posted by Ebenezer
The biggest difference is the lack of barrier between fans and players here. There, they probably hardly ever mingle in their every day lives with fans. Here, they have no choice.Comment

Re: Richards signs with Rangers
9 years, 60 million, and NHL hasnt approved the deal yet either, but it should go through no problem unless its seriously front loaded.Comment

Re: Richards signs with Rangers
Exactly. The Sabres made the right move. He had no intention of going anywhere else.Originally posted by Ebenezer
The Sabres got their plan B; if they had stuck with trying for Richards they would have been left with nothing.
Good move Darcy!

Hate on hockeybuzz.com all you want, but 'Garth' stated on 97Rock Friday AM that Richards to the Rangers was pretty much a done deal.YardRat Wall of Fame

Agreed. He seems to be more of a true 'insider' than 99.9% of the rest of these dumbasses claim to be.Originally posted by TheGhostofJimKellyYardRat Wall of Fame
