Our View:Tonight's outing gives Richards five power-play points in 15 games as he just hasn't been able to find his bearings on the Stars power-play after years of success with the man advantage in Tampa Bay.

Our View:Richards reached 91 points with the Lightning back in 2005-06, and could challenge that total in his first full season with Dallas. He finished last season strong, as he registered a point in his final four games of the playoffs (one goal, three assists). |

|

|
February 26, 2008 The Stars acquired center Brad Richards and goalies Johan Holmqvist Tuesday from the Lightning in exchange for goalie Mike Smith and forwards Jussi Jokinen and Jeff Halpern. This move is good for Richards, as he'll be paired with better linemates in Dallas. |
|
February 25, 2008 The Columbus Blue Jackets appear to be in the mix to acquire Brad Richards at the NHL trade deadline, this according to a report on the AP. The Jackets would love to team Richards with goal scorer Rick Nash, but Richards figures to be expensive since he is one of the biggest names rumored to be on the move. Will the club deem the cost worth it to acquire perhaps the best passing forward likely to change teams? |
|
February 24, 2008 The Lightning have told Brad Richards that they're shopping him, and the center apparently doesn't have a problem waiving his no-trade clause, according to Sportsnet.ca. It's believed that Richards only wants to be dealt to a playoff contender. Richards is a woeful minus-25 this year but has otherwise been his usual productive self. He would be a nice addition to any squad looking to add a little offensive punch at the deadline. |
