At the age of 36, Brad Richards has decided to hang up his skates. This comes after a lengthy NHL career, during which he played for the Tampa Bay Lightning, Dallas Stars, Chicago Blackhawks, and Detroit Red Wings.
Oh, and of course, the New York Rangers. Richards played three seasons for the Rangers, spanning from 2011-14. During that time, he played 210 games, scoring 151 points along the way. His Rangers career came to an end when the team used a compliance buyout on him.
Back in 2011, Richards was the big fish of the free agency period.
