New York hasn't made a decision yet on the future of Brad Richards. "We met [Sunday] for the first time with our scouts," coach Alain Vigneault said. "We're going through the process of evaluating our team. Obviously everybody knows we've got quite a few decisions to make. We're just starting that process now. We've still got quite a bit of work to do." The Rangers may use a compliance buyout on him. His contract runs through the 2019-20 season and carries an annual average value of $6,666,667 per year.
