-Now, at the threshold of the [arbitration] hearing, is your mind uneasy?
- Not especially. My agent Alexander Tyzhnykh and I are sure we're right. I believe that I deserve more [than the $3.25m qualifying offer]. Look at my statistics for the past season. I don't think that I'll be left without a team. My agent has assured me that several NHL clubs are waiting for the the situation with the arbitration case to be settled and will show substantial interest in me.
-Nikolai, do you suppose that it's a plot of Rangers coach John Tortorella to tell the team's management that he doesn't see you in his game plan?
- Anything's possible. There's no point in blaming a person without evidence. It could be that the coach has nothing to do with it at all. Why even start guessing? Though the previous coach of the team, Tom Renney, trusted me more than Tortorella. But John didn't tell me that I didn't suit him.
What a terrible attitude to have. I really wouldn't mind if he leaves.
Center Brad Richards' tenure in Dallas might be coming to an abrupt end, as the Stars are reportedly trying to trade him, according to the New York Post.
The Post has reported for several weeks that the Stars are looking to move Richards, who has two-years remaining on his contract, which includes a no-trade clause, that pays him $7.8 million per season.
The paper claims Stars owner Tom Hicks is having financial problems, and as a result the team might have to cut payroll.
It's believed the Rangers are among the teams interested in Richards, though they might not have enough room under the salary cap to accommodate him.
Richards would have to approve any deal the Stars try to make, much like when he accepted the move from Tampa Bay to Dallas.

Do the Devils have enough space to potentially go after Richards? I've always like his game but I don't know if he'd be a good fit in NJ or what line he'd play on.

Google translation:

In these days of negotiations between Dzheem Grossman,Kovalchuk agent and general manager of "Atlanta" Don Uoddellom. . The agent refused the player's official comments. Uoddell also confirmed that the club intends to enter into long-term contract with Kovalchuk.
". "Atlanta" Ilya offer a contract in which he will earn $ 11.36 million a year. . This is the maximum fee allowed by the League. Every hockey player can receive a maximum of 20% of the wage ceiling ($ 56.8 million next season).
. This will be a record for NHL postlokautnogo period. Earlier in the league, no player has not earned such amount of space. For comparison: in the next season, Alexander Ovechkin a fee of $ 9 million, and Sidney Crosby - $ 8.7 million
$11.36MM/per...
And you guys thought I was nuts for suggesting he would get 9M/per...
P.S-> this came from a Russian website so the translation is a little strange.

I'm thinking maybe Marc Staal, but I'm not sure.
