    We'll agree to disagree Al. A lot of guys had bad seasons last season. Blame Torts, maybe don't blame Torts, who knows. What I do know is Richards had two good seasons here out of 3. We won 6 playoff rounds with him. Made an SCF with him as defacto captain. Good for him. Now he goes. No shame there.

    You said AV needs to realize you need size. He's not the GM. He coaches the roster he has to deal with. Also, in regards to size it's not AV's fault that Nash plays like a pussy.

    He was brought in here to be the man..to take gabby to another level to be that number 1 center..I wont even talk about his salary. He was ok..he was not the reason for the ecf or scf runs

    Nope, he was not the sole reason or the main reason, but he was solid two of three seasons. It is time to go, but I say thanks for the time Brad. We had some good runs in your time here.

    Al, you are wrong about Richards. He has had a lot of memorable moments here. Thanks Brad, see ya. We need the cap relief.

    Invisible since the Flyer series really. I think he was a + 6 or + 7 after the Philly series, now he is E or + 1. Enough said.

    Huge goal against the Caps I think it was. That was a monster goal.

    I would not resign Staal to be honest. See if you can get something of a value next season.

    People like to jump on Girardi but give Staal a pass.

    He is a 4th line center...even at half the salary he needs to go. This series shows it

    Richards is clearly getting bought out. It's just a smart business move. That's really all that matters.

    I know Girardi makes some mistakes out there but the point is he's always out there. I'll take that over a guy who frankly has been a ghost for the last 15 games.

    So you don't think that the coach has anything to do with the players we sign??? AV likes speed, not size. He wants his roster to be faster than his opponents. He always tends to overlook size.

    I hear you. Still one more loss before you can call them dead this year. I just know this roster needs improvement to get over the top.

    Have you noticed Staal in the ice at all in the playoffs?

    Do you think 6'4" 230lb guys grow on trees? As for AV this is his first year and he inherited this roster. Kreider and Nash aren't small they have just played like it lately.
