Rangers: Breaking Brad Richards Has Been Bought Out

The Rangers have used their second and final compliance buy out to get their cap out from under Brad Richards' massive contract.   So, now that last summer's business is finally taken care of, we're onto this summer's.   I needed a week to get over the screw job.   Anyway, this had to be done, and should have been done last year.   The Richards we got was a shell of the player he was for Dallas and Tampa.   I always though the concussions had caught up with him.   That said, he may go onto to some success elsewhere if he ever fully recovers, and I wish him all the best and thank him for his efforts.  

The Rangers will now have a bunch of cap room, but a bunch of their own players they have to make decisions regarding.   They may also lose one or two of their assistant coaches, and have only 4 draft picks.   Here we go.
