I don't understand this. Why not trade him instead of Designating him for Assignment. I know he hasn't been all that good but I think he could still get back to that form he had 2 years ago. And as much as I'd love to see Richmond do good in the bigs, I don't think he will. I hope Encarnacion...
First good move by Yzerman. He's only 38 but it's gonna be interesting to see a he handles the young guys in Tampa. Like I said before they're not that far from making the playoffs.
