"as well as leading all Lightning blueliners in points. Darren Raddysh could continue late-blooming career in Toronto Raddysh has stepped up this season, especially since fellow defencemen Victor Hedman and Erik Cernak have, and still both are, on the injured reserve list. He has six points (four goals, two assists) in his last six games played and 21 points (six goas, 15 assists) in his last 16 games."
"The Leafs, despite how iconic those names are, might not want to throw money in their direction, as they could be staying put with a new contract with their respective teams. There is one upcoming free agents that Toronto could add to help fill a hole that has been an issue this season, and that's Tampa Bay Lightning defenceman Darren Raddysh."
The 2026 free agent class includes many well-known veterans who are over 30 years old. Toronto may be reluctant to pursue ageing stars who could re-sign with their current teams. Tampa Bay defenceman Darren Raddysh represents a younger, more affordable option to address Toronto's defensive injuries. Raddysh has 24 points (seven goals, 17 assists) in 29 games and leads Lightning blueliners in scoring. He has six points in his last six games and 21 points in his last 16. Raddysh spent most earlier seasons in the AHL and is in his third full NHL season. Toronto's blue line has multiple players on injured reserve, and roster moves remain uncertain. Tampa Bay is unlikely to trade its top-performing defenceman.
