Brad Richards looked to be on his way out of New York in 2013, when former Rangers coach John Tortorella not only demoted the veteran centre but scratched him in the playoffs. D Onta Foreman Jersey . A year later, coach Alain Vigneault started down the same path by putting the 34-year-old on left wing of the Rangers fourth line in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup final. Richards played just nine minutes 22 seconds at even strength and a total of 13:20 including power-play time. Vigneault said he met with his lines individually, including Richards, Brian Boyle and Derek Dorsett. He wanted to spell out his reasoning and assignments. "I talked to Brads line. I talked to Brad about the decision I made," Vigneault said Wednesday night after the Rangers 2-1 victory that staved off elimination. "I mean, at this time of the year its only about one thing: Its about the team. You guys know how Richards has been this year, the ultimate pro. Hes fine with whatever I do."

The Islanders acquired the rights to Boyle from the San Jose Sharks for a conditional 2015 fifth-round draft pick on June 5. If Boyle were to re-sign with the Islanders, the pick would have become a fourth-round selection. According to TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger, Boyle was intrigued by the Islanders interest and offer of a two-year deal, but remains undecided.
