Gaborik, maybe, but I still think that Richards is one of the best centers in the league. Unless injured, he'll still put up near PPG numbers. Even playing on the Rangers.
Gaborik is probably gonna be that player who, ten years from now, people will wonder what he would have been capable of if he wasn't so injury prone.
yeah Gaborik's always had issues. I can see the argument for Richards being very good - and I still think he is, I just don't think he has anymore 90+ point seasons in him. He's done it what, twice? No reason that he can't be a number 1 center for most teams for a few more years, but if he doesn't get some help from Gaborik I think the Rangers will struggle.
