## Resource

The Leafs are reshaping their roster after locking down their coaching staff, sending goalie Joseph Woll and defenseman Simon Benoit to Philly. With the draft and free agency looming—and a thin free-agent market—Toronto is eyeing high-value targets like Rasmus Andersson and Darren Raddysh. While Raddysh’s hometown appeal is tempting, experts warn: his recent surge was fueled by Nikita Kucherov, and at 30+, he’s a risky, pricey gamble at $9M/year. The Leafs must balance local love with smart, sustainable spending. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
