All the bashing of Richards can stop. 3rd line, 4th line, 1st line, it doesnt matter. Any team would KILL to have a guy like him. Leader, plays all situations and is clutch. End of story.
Lets start with non-NHLers like King, Nolan, Richardson, Penner, Drewiskie first.
Call up Anthony Stewart and give him a try over some of these guys.
I dunno Herby, as I said earlier, go look at all the tops teams from last year and what the point totals were for their centers. You may be surprised as to what "a second line player" scores.
I know what your saying, I heard the same things argued by JTD and kingpest19 when they used to try and argue Stoll was a #2 center. To me, it's just the eye test, and atleast at ES Richards has looked more comfortable in a non-scoring role. I actually really do like him on the third line role, I just wish we had better players on those bottom lines. It also gives balance to the lines.
