The Devils have informed Richer that they will not offer him another contract for next season, according to the
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
ANALYSIS
Richer had a recurring foot injury all of last season, with the Penguins and later in the year after the Devils acquired him. He blames the problem on a poor surgery from several years ago. Looks like one of the league's better snipers from a decade ago might be forced to step away from the game.
