Also consider that opponents target Richards when they gain possession on their PK. <br /><br />Here are the UFA age centers that I consider to be comparables for Richards..<br /><br />Datsyuk - $6.7mil for 5 more years. Sweethart deal and I consider him to be a better player than Richards. I'd be thrilled for BR to extend in Dallas at a similar rate.<br /><br />Lecavalier - $7.7mil for 10 more years. Almost the same money, and probably a better player, but because of the crazy term I don't think that you could say that Richards is overpriced in comparison.<br /><br />Thornton - $7.2mil for one more year. A bit less money, but I think Richards is better.<br /><br />I could go on with names like Gomez, Drury, Briere, but they're not even in the same tier as BR.<br /><br />So yes, BR is expensive, but that's different than overpriced. The way he's playing this season, he'd easily land Thornton money or more as a UFA.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16625072820932297118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10242068.post-57463295015725704262010-03-24T10:06:18.344-05:002010-03-24T10:06:18.344-05:00Richards is a stud.

The Stars have gone after free agents hard and have been turned down. As the saying goes, Richards in the hand is worth who knows what in the bush.Jay Beerleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09583354224493886752noreply@blogger.com
