playoff tested, on a 2-3Yr term between 3.5M-4M+AAV #HockeyX
Late-night news:
Don’t expect this to be finalized until the morning, but there is word the Toronto Maple Leafs and Tampa Bay Lightning are working on a sign-and-trade for Darren Raddysh.
The 30-year-old defenceman had a breakthrough 2025-26 with 22 goals and 70 points
We have acquired a first-round pick (20th overall) in the 2026 NHL Draft from the San Jose Sharks in exchange for Michael Kesselring and a first-round pick.

Marco D'Amico: The belief across the NHL is that Darren Raddysh could land a long-term deal worth between $8 million and $9 million annually on the open market - RG (6/14)
A name per sources that’s of interest to other clubs is RFA D Nemec , as it hasn’t been the smoothest path / usage with @NJDevils , and he’s an attractive option
given age, talent, upside, should it be decided that they want to move him.

TRADE: We’ve acquired defenceman Emil Andrae, goaltender Samuel Ersson and a third-round selection in the 2026 NHL Draft from the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for goaltender Joseph Woll and defenceman Simon Benoit
Darren Raddysh is coming off a contract year for the ages, an explosion that makes him this year’s most high-risk, high-reward UFA.
How much should he be paid? I honestly have no idea.
