 #13 – FORWARD, BRAD RICHARDS

2004 Conn Smythe Trophy winner Brad Richards was a sensational offensive player for each of the five teams he laced them up for: Tampa Bay, Dallas, New York Rangers, Chicago, and Detroit. However, his career high in points and his only All-Star berth came as a member of the 2009-10 Dallas Stars.

Richards, in the beginning of his lengthy career, centered perhaps the most electrifying line in the NHL during the mid-to-late 2000s; dubbed “The Three Amigos,” the native of Murray Harbour, P.E.I stood in between former Maurice Richard Trophy winner Vincent Lecavalier and two-time Art Ross recipient Martin St. Louis for the Lightning.

Richards as a Star – a tenure that began with a trade on February 26th, 2008 involving Jussi Jokinen and other pieces – was absolutely outstanding. Richards, in his Dallas debut, set the record for most single-game assists in Stars history, with five in a game against Chicago.

Overall, Richards tallied 227 (70 goals, 157 assists) of his 932 career points as a Dallas Star, including a career-high 91 in 2009-10 whilst wearing the same jersey number. Richards retired after a season with Detroit last year.
