New York Rangers GM Glen Sather refused to talk about Brad Richards' future at the news conference introducing Alain Vigneault as the team's next head coach. Richards is a candidate for a compliance buyout due to the salary cap coming down and an extremely sub-par 2013 regular season and playoffs in which he looked tired and out of place at times. Players were expected to attend Vigneault's presser, but it's unclear if Richards was among them. If Richards does stay, he should have every chance to rediscover his offensive game under Vigneault, who made point of saying he believes skill players should have more "latitude" on the ice.
