Confirmed Trade: [TOR/TBL] Darren Raddysh (signs 8 years, $8.5M AAV) for 2026 5th round pick (MOD WARNING 253)

[IslesNorway]

Chayka strikes again

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

The way the NHL cap is going Raddysh really only needs to play the way he has and put up 40 points to be worth the contracr.

I don't think people are quite grasping the cap climb.

Unless he becomes very useless and cant produce, then this will look bad, but right now cant really say.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Unreal for Raddysh getting this deal. Crazy for him to have 1 good season at 30 years old and now be ridiculously rich

 

[KniesMadeBradyCry]

The reality of the situation is that he was far and away the #1 UFA D-man. And 20+ teams would have been calling. The leafs got him for under market value, on a contract that will be too long. With the constant cap increase, this will not age as poorly as some of the haters here will have you think.

Honestly getting Raddysh isin't a bad move since they aren't rebuilding , but the fan reaction and hope they have is really cute , it's always funner to laugh at them in hindsight when they have hope.

It was boring when they were all down in the dumps and negative , much funner when they are delusional

All I know if I'm flyers and bruins I'm holding those 1st round picks tight so tight like put him in the vault at Fort Knox.

 

[KniesMadeBradyCry]

Thanks for the laugh. And that being said, I wouldn't be surprised at all if Boston misses playoffs next year too.

Toronto won’t be missing

 

[Woodrow]

for all the he was a 30 point player before last season...
he was playing behind BOTH Hedman and Cernak on the 3rd pair, 30 points from a bottom D pair is ELITE!!

Leaf fans should be at least concerned that Raddysh played much better with Moser than anyone else.

 

[BlueBaron]

This is a bad move if the numbers are right. But Toronto needs positive pub and with the first pick, they are wanting to be in the making moves to get better category

Improving your D for a 5th and paying below market value is only a bad move in Leaf hater land.

 

[Peasy]

So how much coin do the leafs have now after blowing top dollar on this meh D now anyone know?

Still over 20m.

 

[HockeyVirus]

I love it, Tuch next please, another 60 years in the wilderness would be exquisite.

To clarify you think the Leafs signing the top free agent dman and top free agent forward for nothing but cap space is a bad thing? When they have more cap space in the next few years than they can spend?

 

[KCC]

he had one decent year his entire career and Toronto throws everything to get him. lol.

I think the bottom line is he gonna put at least plus 40 points and a plus 15 ? This is gonna be interesting for sure I'm gonna keep an eye.

I wouldn’t be too excited about that pick with Bostons drafting lately . Don’t worry, I’m sure Lysell, Poitras and Vaakaninen will be pitching in soon

 

[BlueBaron]

At this point I think we can conclude that if the Leafs signed McDavid for 5 mil it would be a bad deal on HF. You guys have been a lot of laughs, thanks for that.

 

[Peasy]

A 5th round pick is everything?

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

No but your reply clearly is lol.

Nice deflection and more emotion lol. I promise, everything's gonna be ok.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Toronto won’t be missing

just like last year

 

[The don godfather]

Still over 20m.

Ok a couple of more ridiculous signings and the bottom of the Atlantic we go again.

 

[KniesMadeBradyCry]

The Leafs did something it is both the worst thing and clown move in all the history of the NHL!

Wonderful insight. Thank god we have your infinite knowledge of the situation?

 

[HuGo Burner Acc]

Honestly, not a bad deal at all. A bit of an overpay but the market is going up for these UFAs. Toronto now has a RD of Raddysh, Tanev, and Carlo. Honestly, if they can replace Reilly and add some F depth, they're back to being a solid team

 

[NastyKnies]

A 5th round pick is not everything what are you smoking.

trust the process

Exactly. As for the Flyers, Woll won't be the difference maker if he's on IR for most of the season.

Yes thanks for saving us in giving us 21 year center stud in Minten we needed it trust me.

A 5th rounder and below market value is everything?
