Maple Leafs Acquire Darren Raddysh in Sign-And-Trade Deal
The Toronto Maple Leafs have acquired defenseman Darren Raddysh from the Tampa Bay Lightning in a sign-and-trade deal. Raddysh is a pending unrestricted free agent and is expected to sign an eight-year, $68 million extension. In the deal, Tampa Bay received a 2026 fifth-round draft pick. Raddysh burst onto the scene this season, scoring 70 points (22 goals, 48 assists) in 74 games -- the seventh most among defensemen. Only two blue-liners scored more goals than Raddysh. He had previously been a 30-point scorer in back-to-back seasons. Raddysh, who will turn 31 in February, has a lot to live up to in 2026-27, but the Maple Leafs clearly believe he can replicate his success from this campaign.
