Summary
Toronto’s blue line just got a major upgrade as they traded a fifth-round 2026 draft pick to land defenseman Darren Raddysh from Tampa Bay — and he’s locked in for eight years. Raddysh, coming off a career-best 70 points in 73 games, brings elite two-way play, puck-moving ability, and playoff experience. A former AHL First All-Star and OHL champion, he’s been a top prospect since being drafted by Chicago. Leafs GM John Chayka called him one of the league’s premier defensemen, saying he’ll elevate Toronto’s defense and leadership. This is a statement move — a cornerstone addition for a team building something special. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
