Goal of the Day - Brad Richards March 15, 2008, shorthanded.

When the Dallas Stars picked up the best player at the trade deadline by pulling Tampa Bay center Brad Richards out of an assured extended golf season.

A brilliant move by co-GMs Brett Hull and Les Jackson to add a Conn Smythe winner to a team that is a lock for the post-season every year. Dallas also gave up very little in exchange (Jussi Jokinen, Jeff Halpern, and Mike Smith for Richards and Johan Holmqvist)

Richards is a great playmaker who, while not a pure goal-scorer does possess a lethal shot.

Richards busted out with four points (one goal, three assists) in last nights 5-2 win over San Jose.

By the end of the third round Richards should be vying for the points lead before Dallas bows out after falling to the Wings in six.
