Not overpaying for Richards a nice move

via Fort Worth Star-Telegram:

Watching Brad Richards be an absolute menace to Anaheim and now San Jose so far in these playoffs -- How else do you describe what a beast he has been? -- has underlined how much this Stars team needed another dynamic scorer.

Trading for him probably saved them from crashing and burning in very Maverick-like fashion.

And this is a perfect time for a walk down memory lane, a reminder of how close this deal was to not being consummated and what held up, and almost killed, the Richards trade: Mark Fistric.
