I see your point with Sakic. But Sakic still has the star power to make those around him better. I think that Richards is a good player, but maybe doesn\'t have the drive to work as hard as he used to...
You\'re saying he doesn\'t have the drive to work as hard as he used too. What basis do you have to make a comment like this? OK, he had a down year but he was playing with shit players. He still put up respectable numbers. And let me add they were the worst team in the league.

I\'m not saying he\'s going to put up those numbers he used too but he\'s 28 years old and on a better team. You\'re making comments that have no proof whatsoever applying to his work ethic.
No basis except my opinion from watching him play.
