NHL 2010-2011 Season Thread

He can kiss his private life goodbye if he signs with the Leafs. Richards has always struck me as a private guy, and he already has a cup. He's going to make millions no matter where he goes. Up to him if he wants the added pressures of playing in the Leafs market.

He grew up in P.E.I so you may be on to something, but Richards was drafted by Tampa and dealt to Dallas so he's kind of a wild card. It depends. If he were to sign with Toronto and help turn Toronto into a playoff team Richards would own that city.
