Despite leading the Rangers into the Stanley Cup Final, Brad Richards continues to be one of the most talked about buyout candidates this summer with his $6.67 million cap hit through 2019-2020. 48 hours after the Cup Final concludes, teams have until June 30th to use their two compliance buyouts granted as part of the new labor agreement last year. Struggling players like Ville Leino of the Sabres and Jordin Tootoo of the Red Wings are among the top candidates, but Brad Richards' success with the Rangers this spring has not quelled the speculation in New York. Richards has 11 points in 20 games so far in the playoffs.
