Brad Richards Heads Slim NHL Free-Agent Class
How's this for a change of pace? While the NFL and NBA are
embroiled in labor disputes that threaten their upcoming seasons, NHL
clubs are gearing up to spend more money on salaries than they have
since a lockout canceled a full campaign six years ago.
Harmony exists in hockey ¡ª at least for one more season ¡ª and the
30 teams will be living with a salary cap that is at its highest level
since it was created. They can start shopping Friday when the
free-agent season kicks off.
While not everyone will spend up to the $64.3 million cap, a $4.9
million increase over last season, each club will have to reach the
minimum payroll of $48.3 million. That figure is $9.Other items seized
included video games, cartoon videos or DVDs, sex toys and digital baby video monitor.Most
of those arrested were middle-aged men whose previous offenses included
lewd and lascivious conduct with children or other sex crimes, said
Det.3 million higher than the original ceiling established after the
season-long lockout in 2005.
"Lots of teams have lots of money to spend because the cap went up,
which meant the floor went up," Washington Capitals general manager
George McPhee said. "Teams with money are going to have to spend, and
the teams trying to get to the floor are going to have to spend. So
somebody is going to spend too much money on free agents and I'm glad
it's not going to be us, because we're in pretty good shape at this
point."
Dallas Stars center Brad Richards appears to be the rare gem in a
free-agent class that contains many familiar names, but not a lot of
elite talent.The New York Rangers have long coveted Richards, who would
give them the playmaking center they have been searching for and
someone to quarterback an often stagnant power play. His familiarity
with Rangers coach John Tortorella, who coached Richards when they won
the Stanley Cup together with the Tampa Bay Lightning,pandora beads

Richards' contract demands and squeeze him under what is still a
crowded cap for them.Lady Gaga and Polaroid's upcoming Grey Label spy hidden camera
