Fantasy Summary

A smart, poised winger who is patient in high-traffic areas and has a good ability to score from mid-range. Needs to improve his speed and explosiveness to be considered an option at the NHL level.

June 2025- Jake Richards saw an offensive pop in his NCAA sophomore season. His 15 goals, 28 assists and 43 points in 34 games mark at least a doubling of each metric. Several of the University of Connecticut’s top offensive players moved on prior to the season, and Richard lapped up the new deployment. The 20 year old, sixth-round pick of the Buffalo Sabres remains unsigned at present, and we will need to wait to see if he gets to head to the AHL, or takes another turn in the NCAA in 2025-2026. Alex Wyatt

July 2022 – The Buffalo Sabres drafted Richard in the sixth round (170th overall) in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft. Mark Henry
