But this is too early imo.

I don't know, I watched Richards the entire time he was in Dallas (not to mention when he was winning the Conn Smythe with the Lightning), and he has never once struck me as either lazy or unmotivated.
If he's become that way in NY, I'm going to say there's something else at work there. I just think there are chemistry issues involved. It's not just one guy or a couple of guys. That entire team is not playing as well as they should.
