Summary
The Leafs just pulled off a bold move, signing defenseman Raddysh via sign-and-trade before he hits free agency — locking him in for eight years and $8.5M. It’s a high-stakes gamble: he’s only had one standout season after rising from undrafted to top-pairing, fueled by injuries and coaching trust. History warns: even stars like Rielly and Tanev have stumbled under long-term deals. Raddysh’s youth helps, but his ceiling is likely a few strong years, not a decade-long anchor. The real risk? The contract’s back end could haunt them if his breakout fades. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
