NHL Trade Rumors: Brad Richards Trade Becoming More Likely?

Brad Richards mind as well be nicknamed "Blockbuster". 

Why?

Well, it seems like every trade deadline, he is always in rumors and if you back track to 2008, he was in the biggest trade that saw him go from Tampa Bay to Dallas.

This time, it seems like he will be apart of another one, though speculation is that there's no specific asking price for Richards because as Stars GM, Joe Nieuwendyk reiterated on NHL Live on Wednesday that the organization hasn't decided whether to try and trade their top centre or not.

As expected, if Richards is moved, the asking price would be substantial. 

Something along the lines of Young roster players, top prospects, a first-round pick, a bevy of other draft picks - a combination of all.

Richards has missed four games because of concussion-like symptoms and won't return this weekend.

With his injured star out, Joe Nieuwendyk has some heavy thinking to do.
