Richard’s NHL dimension is defence, where he’s a frequent play-killer. Knees bent, head on a swivel, and constantly adjusting his positioning, he has projectable defensive range. His confidence defending the rush grew through the season, establishing his gap earlier and earlier to force dump-ins and neutralize threats along the boards. -EliteProspects 2021 NHL Draft Guide
