Brad Richards was bought out today by the New York Rangers. This move not only affects Richards himself, but what about best friend Martin St. Louis and Ryan Haggerty who all work out together during the summer together? Haggerty was a free agaent that could have signed anywhere but chose the Rangers for the comfort level of working with MSL and Richards all last summer. This is the first chip to the many moves to follow! There is now $6.667 cap hit added to the Rangers with the buyout.
