Welcome to the Atlantic Mr. Richards

He'll be under the media spotlight in New York, hopefully he'll fare better than Drury, Gomez, and Redden.[/QUOTE]

This is what I'm worried about, but I'm going to be optimistic now that he has signed.

I think Richards will be fine. He's won a Memorial Cup, & a Stanley Cup. He can certainly handle playing in the Big Apple.

Two things are definately going to have to happen for the Rangers to make the playoffs & actually do something when they get their.

1.Gaborik must come back to form. Richards should be a huge help with this.

2.Guys like Dubinsky, Boyle, Stepan etc.. must continue their strong play of 1 year ago. Kreider & Thomas are at least 1 year away.
