Richard, Nashville’s fourth-round pick at the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, first played for the organization in 2016-17 after wrapping up an illustrious junior career with the QMJHL’s Val-d’Or Foreurs. Over seven seasons, Richard appeared in 322 regular-season AHL games and scored 79 goals and 152 points. The small but speedy forward will finish his career in Milwaukee third on the Admirals’ all-time games-played list (as an AHL franchise) and 11th in points.
