Brad Richards appears to be headed to his fourth NHL team in as many years.
The 36-year-old unrestricted free agent is coming off a pair of one-year contracts after being bought out by the New York Rangers in 2014, and while he was able to win a Stanley Cup in Chicago, his latest stop in Detroit wasn't quite as successful.
"It didn’t seem like we ever got firing on all cylinders, just probably wasn't a great fit for me," Richards told The Guardian's Jason Malloy of his time with the Red Wings.
Richards missed games early in the season due to a back injury, and finished 2015-16 with 10 goals and 18 assists in 68 regular-season games, with only one goal in five playoff appearances.
The two-time Cup winner and 2004 playoff MVP seems content with what he's achieved in the NHL, but isn't quite ready to call it a career.
"I want to look at free agency and see who calls and what opportunities are there, but I haven’t made my mind up with what I want to do yet," he said. "I’ve been fortunate to do a lot of great things in hockey, and hockey has been great to me. If it was time, I wouldn’t feel cheated, but I’m not there yet.
"It’s a young, fast game now. (But) with rest and proper training I still have a good year left in me."
