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

[LBloor]

30-33 = good side of 30
34-36 = mid thirties
37-39 = wrong side of 30

Nylander won’t be on the wrong side of 30 for 7 years

Not in todays NHL

 

[BobClarkesfrontteeth]

So you were wrong when you said they had “no” cap space. Thank you for admitting it.

I wasn't wrong. They have no cap space. Why don't you explain how the Raddysh contract makes them idiots?? I explained how the Oilers have no cap space.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Everyone misses once in a while. It was obvious early that Berube needed to be fired and it never happened and injuries on top.

This year... Leafs are the team to beat in the Atlantic

Ok now I feel empathetic

How dare you make me feel that way

 

[KniesMadeBradyCry]

Except Mathews and nylander are shooters not play makers and mckenna hasn't played a game yet lol

Nylander is an incredible playmaker, Matthews is/can be too.

 

[LBloor]

The leafs aren’t better than Montreal , Tampa bay , Florida or Buffalo.

They will probably pass Boston only this year

 

[General Fanager]

I think the cap going up that high is going to break the habs cap structure. They will eventually be signing worse players than Hutson, Suzuki for more to hit the floor

The Habs will never be a cap floor team.

 

[Strangle]

No trade protection

This is even better! Zero risk

 

[Beukeboom Fan]

lol until he’s 38 from one good year

I see a lot of this, but that's completely misleading IMO. I'd say from 2 good years, and 1 great year. Raddysh had 2 years very equivalent to what Dobson and Matheson did for the Habs last year, before exploding when he got PP time.

 

[PensandCaps]

Not in todays NHL

Today's NHL you see many players playing well past 36, up to 38/39

Is this a serious comment?

 

[Mugzy97]

You don’t get to just re-define a commonly used phrase

How would you define it? How is someone on the wrong side of 30 when they literally just turned thirty? What’s the right side?

 

[CaptainScrewy]

Sure, but acting like he wasnt a solid D before this year is just fantasy

A solid 5 or 6 D man who should get a 4 million X 4-year type contract? Sure. That's what he is.

 

[Nostradeeznuts]

Ok now I feel empathetic

How dare you make me feel that way

lets see you predict the Atlantic next year? I can see any 1 of those 8 teams winning the division next year.
However if the Leaf and Cats are healthy, there are levels and IMO if fully healthy and playing right, Leafs and Cats are still the 2 to beat.

Google it. Being on the wrong side of means you surpassed said age

Continuing to lie about basic facts doesn’t make anyone want to reply to you, homie.

 

[Divine]

A 37 year old just won the Conn Smythe and this thread is arguing players are washed the second they hit 30?

 

[CupsOverCash]

The leafs aren’t better than Montreal , Tampa bay , Florida or Buffalo.

If the leafs don't make the playoffs this year they will be right back to wondering if they should sell the ship again. We will see if this works or not but if it doesn't yea this one will also look bad because of the term and position they were in this year.

 

[Strangle]

Yeah I dont think that phrase works how you think it works...

If youre worried someone is 30 then just say they are 30. Not on the wrong side of 30. In your scenario there is no good side of 30 so it makes zero sense to imply there is a good side of 30.

When you’re 30 you aren’t on either side of 30

 

[LBloor]

Today's NHL you see many players playing well past 36, up to 38/39

Approximately 30 NHL players were over the age of 35 during the previous season. Across the 32 active teams, the percentage of players 25 or younger is much more heavily emphasized, but roughly \(4\%\) to \(5\%\) LMAO out of 720+ players including goalies

 

[ITM]

What? I’m asking the question who he will play with while making a comment, in parallel, that Toronto doesn’t have a partner for raddysh as good as Moser. Was meant to be more complimentary to moser than anything

Reads like a shot at Toronto first.

We were a hot mess last year and in spite most of it, OEL and McCabe looked good.

We'll see.

 

[Nostradeeznuts]

The Habs will never be a cap floor team.

exactly, that means to fill out the roster they will be bringing in worse players for more money than Hutson and Suzuki

Good players with todays training can play well up to 38. its amazing that many guys over 35 played.

Maybe, but I dont see the point.

Demidov will likely get more than Suzuki but who cares. Good players get paid, nothing wrong with that.

It’s solid but you’ll find many habs fans saying those two are overpaid

Not sure why you're posting about the Habs in this thread, but trying to make this out as a negative is hilarious.

What a shame, we signed our stars to reasonable cap hits. Should have followed the Toronto route and signed them short term to big money
