Habs accept. I couldn't keep both Ovi and Richards, and chose Ovi. The other early offers for Richards weren't returning any asset nearly as valuable as this one.

Re: PIT/MTL
Pittsburgh agrees.
Making Richards fit is going to be tight but I figured out a way I can do it, and he's a legit star. There is a very real chance I can only afford him for one year but after a couple playoff disappointments, let's see what we can do.
This pick falling at #11 was not great for me - I wanted a forward and the top-10 forwards seemed pretty well defined - I kept it holding out some hope that one of the top-10 might slide, but they did not. Honestly I suspect I will get someone even all the way down at 26 that I like almost as much.
