Brad Richards: Signs With Detroit

The Red Wings signed Richards to a one-year, $3 million deal Wednesday, TSN.ca reports.

Analysis:

The 35-year-old pivot scored 12 goals and added 25 assists in 76 games in his only season with the Blackhawks. He ended up leaving town with another Stanley Cup ring and will now look to continue his positive momentum with Detroit, where he could settle into a top-six role, especially considering Pavel Datsyuk's current health status.
