Richards is the opposite, he's extremely durable and he only had one significant injury ever which was a freak accident. He's fine, he had a concussion with the same recoverytine as the concussion I had. I've had several hits to my head since, even shortly after recovering from my concussion and I haven't had a problem since. Crosby should worry about his concussion, not Richards.

Agreed. I'm just saying they should be leery..you know the kind of luck this team has with big ticket free agents!

I'm actually confident that he'll hold up both statistically and healthwise over the next 4-5 seasons. He's as sure a thing there is in UFA. Even if Sather pulls, well a Sather, and gives some ludicrous cap hit, at least the production will be there, unlike Gomez.

Haha..I certainly hope so. You'd figure one of these years he'll get it right with a free agent!
