One less center to force him to the press box

What don't the two of you understand? If the Rangers had that much of a lack of faith in him, they would have bought him out. Richards will get a fair amount of ice time next season.
T'was just a simple jab at Richards for losing his roster spot to Kris Newbury in the final two games of the playoffs.
Pretty sure they're kidding, albeit in a fairly cynical manner.

Dude it was a joke
Love this trade just because we won't have to see Newbury get called up to take bad minor penalties anymore.
We have a glut of prospect forwards coming in and were thin on dmen. Not too surprising.
I'll be honest...as inconsequential as this move is wrt to the Rangers themselves...I don't like it. Hartford needed another vet forward or two, not to trade a top-6 C.
Right? I'm not 100% in tune with the Hartford situation.
Hartford lost some dmen no?
This could also be making more room down there for new forwards coming in.
Meh.
I liked Newbury too, but this frees up a lot of minutes up front with the Wolfpack. Thats good for a lot of the forward prospects coming over.
In return we get a D with some NHL experience. Im ok with it. With the Falk deal (which i liked) it gives the Rangers more depth on D. Hopefully more (real) depth coming.
