Coach John Tortorella seems to feel his team is best suited with the struggling Richards out of the lineup rather than as a plodder on the fourth line.","date":"Fri May 24"},"fullName":"Brad Richards","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Richards didn't have one of his better seasons, but he wasn't a complete bust with the New York Rangers, either. The 32-year-old playmaking centerman seemed to have only occasional chemistry on the ice with the Rangers' best goal scorer in Marian Gaborik. While the two did pick up some points together, Gaborik had a better connection with Derek Stepan. But Richards has a new sniper to feed: Rick Nash. The trade brings Nash to a much-improved offense and an elite playmaker in Richards. While Richards didn't connect with the speedy Gaborik, he is sure to be able to find chemistry with Nash.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Thu Jan 10"},"playerRater30DAY":12.4,"playerRater15DAY":12.1,"positionRank":23}
