A source close to the situation figured this will be a Monday trade, if there's a move at all. The Stars won their second straight game Saturday and are very much alive in the West playoff race. GM Joe Nieuwendyk may look at what he's being offered Monday and decide that keeping Richards is a better investment for his team's playoff run, even if that means losing him for nothing July 1. The Stars have not yet gone to Richards with any offers, but it will have to happen soon, possibly Sunday night.
