Lightning lock up Richards


TSN.ca is reporting that the Tampa Bay Lightning have signed forward Brad Richards to a 5-year contract worth upwards of $39 million. The Lightning now have their three best players under contract for at least the next three seasons, having already signed forwards Vincent Lecavalier and Martin St. Louis to multi-year contracts before the season began. It also means that the Lightning now have around $34 million in payroll money tied up in just 13 players. An interesting situation, to say the least.

There It Is take: This puts me in a bit of a pickle. I have Richards on my fantasy team and must decide between him and Patrick Marleau on whom to keep. A tough call, to be sure. Marleau playing with Joe Thornton and Jonathan Cheechoo, or Richards with Lecavalier and St. Louis? Any thoughts?
