Brad Richards has no immediate plans to go to Europe during the lockout. Coach John Tortorella spoke to Richards and Rangers captain Ryan Callahan prior to the lockout about the importance of "maintaining structure" and conditioning at a high level during the voluntary skates and scrimmages. "I am staying here for the fall," Richards said. "Not thinking about anything until at least Christmas. Going to train, skate and be ready."
