Leafs sign old goat Richardson...
WTF.
Yet the Canadians deal Theodore and Toronto was nowhere to be found???????
I wonder if the Bruins have any room on their fanwagon?
NefCanuck, slow the wagon down man....I want off!

The Toronto Maple Leafs have acquired defenceman Luke Richardson from Columbus for a fifth round pick and conditional fourth round pick.
Richardson, who was drafted by Toronto in 1987, spent the first four seasons of his career in Toronto before being traded to Edmonton in a seven-player deal in September 1991. The defenceman, who turns 37 later this month, signed with Philadelphia in July 1997 before inking a deal with Columbus prior to the 2002-03 season.
The Blue Jackets' captain this season, Richardson recorded one goal, six assists and 30 penalty minutes in 44 games. He missed 15 games after suffering a fractured jaw on December 21 but returned to action January 28.
"Luke Richardson is the consummate professional who brought tremendous class and leadership to our organization, both on and off the ice," Blue Jackets general manager Doug MacLean said. "After receiving a number of inquiries from teams, Luke and I talked about his future and tried to do what was best for him and his family moving forward. I have great respect for Luke and wish him all the best."
A native of Ottawa, Richardson has collected 33 goals, 153 assists and 1,955 penalty minutes in 1,291 career games.
