Coyotes ink Brad Richardson to 2-year pact

The Arizona Coyotes re-signed center Brad Richardson to a two-year deal with an average annual value of $1.25 million, the team announced Tuesday.

The 33-year-old appeared in 76 games with the Coyotes last season, recording three goals and 15 points.

After acquiring centers Alex Galchenyuk and Marcus Kruger this offseason, Richardson now joins a crowded group down the middle for the Coyotes alongside Derek Stepan, Christian Dvorak, and Dylan Strome.
