As a youth, Picard played in the 1999 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with a minor ice hockey team from Quebec City.[1]
After playing four full seasons in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL), Picard was drafted in the first round, eighth overall, by the Columbus Blue Jackets in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft. Picard joined the Syracuse Crunch, Columbus' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, for the 2005–06 season. He made his National Hockey League (NHL) debut with the Blue Jackets in the same season.[citation needed]
On March 3, 2010, the Blue Jackets traded Picard to the Phoenix Coyotes in exchange for Chad Kolarik.[2]
On July 7, 2011, Picard signed a one-year contract with the Tampa Bay Lightning.[3] He was assigned to Tampa Bay's. AHL affiliate, the Norfolk Admirals. On June 9, 2012, Picard won the Calder Cup with the Admirals. He was named MVP of the AHL playoff series.[4]
Picard opted to sign a multi-year contract abroad with Swiss club Genève-Servette HC of the National League A (NLA) from the 2012–13 season. In December 2013 and in December 2014, he won the Spengler Cup with Genève-Servette. He left after three years with the club. In December 2015, Picard was added to the roster of NLA side HC Davos for the Spengler Cup, and for the third time was part of the Cup-winning team. Following his impressive showing, Davos offered him a contract for the remainder of the 2015–16 season, which he signed in January 2016.[5]
Picard left Switzerland upon the conclusion of the 2015–16 season and signed a one-year contract with Kunlun Red Star for their inaugural Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) season,[6] but eventually did not play for the team. On November 29, 2016, he joined HK Hradec Králové of the Czech Extraliga.[7]
