So you're telling me there's a chance?

No, wait. That was wrong. Sign him for *fargin'* more than he's worth and trade him when we miss the playoffs again.

Between his insane post-Cup contract and this one with the Rangers, he might have been the highest paid player of the past eight years. In all that time, he essentially turned two great seasons into damn near $100 million. It's not his fault GMs overpaid him, but on the bang for your buck scale, Richards might have been one of the worst investments in modern hockey history.

After losing Ribs, Fisty, Ryder and Morrow, I can honestly say that Jagr is the only player on our team that I actually give a *poo poo* about. I literally feel nothing for anybody else.

I went through a dark period after we lost Richards where I genuinely hated or was indifferent towards almost every player on the roster. Loui has grown on me though, and I am continually in awe of Jagr. Whitney has been a really dependable player for a long time that I draft in fantasy hockey every year, but I'm not getting invested with him.

In unrelated news, the Rangers might pay Brad Richards $24 million this summer not to play for them anymore.

Sauce?

A few articles I found mentioned it. But they also said it's too early to really tell what will happen. It depends on if he picks it up or not. He had an okay season last year. 66 points in 82 games, but certainly not on par with his salary. Funny. Did the Stars dodge a bullet there?

He wasn't going to sign with us anyway.

No. The Stars have no cap crunch on the horizon. They could absorb his bad contract with ease.

Did we avoid heavily overpaying someone for a mediocre season?

Yes.

In the new CBA, aren't teams allowed to eat some of the $ in order to trade a player? Since you can't bury bad contracts in the minors and get cap relief any more.

Also, Dillion is my man. I loved him the minute I saw him skate at the last TC tourney. It's on record.

Thank God we were able to use all that cap space to our advantage.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

That's what's so frustrating. All this money and no willingness to spend it.

Or even make a good trade with it and capitalize on someone else's screwedness.

[starsfan18]

How funny would it be if we sent Brenden away and traded for Iginla?

Knowing what we did otherwise with the money - nothing - I'd rather have Richards.

[B Kat]

Richards didn't love us. We all just have to get over it and move on.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

Hmmm... nothing vs. Richards, eh? It's a tough call.

[mookie1010]

Jerk.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

I'm kidding.

[mookie1010]

You're so mean all the time.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

It doesn't mean I don't love you.

Kiss and make up boys.

Not on the short list. Ain't happening.

I didn't place odds on it happening, I said how funny it would be.

[SaintAngerBH]

No way the Stars go after Iginla. We're not even on his short list of teams he'd be willing to go to.

[The Frugal Gourmet]

Question: Are we on the short list of teams Iginla would be traded to?

Are you in the habit of repeating what I say lately? Feels like I have another shadow.

Sorry, I'm set to ignore your posts by default because they always involve some minor league *poo poo* team that only you care about.

[Knives Out]

But what if we sweetened the pot and offered him the GM job too?

So you ignore all of my posts because you don't like the one in 275 posts that talk about something other than the Stars?

Jerk.

It's more of a money thing than a playing thing, altho having 12 assists this deep into the season despite all the PP time and $7 million linemates is troubling. The big reason is his insane contract, and the fact that the cap is going down by $6-7 million next season. That means the Rangers will have to chuck either Brad or Gaborik over the side of the ship, or both, just to sign the guys they already have. Since neither has remotely lived up to their contracts..and are getting old... it seems like a sensible thing. $24 million is just walking around money for Glen Sather anyways.
