Leafs Land Raddysh With Big Contract

The Leafs just pulled off a savvy deal, landing defenseman Darren Raddysh for a fifth-round pick — a steal given his 22 goals and 70 points last season. But here’s the twist: he’s getting an eight-year, $8.5M deal with heavy trade protection. GM John Chayka admits it’s risky — especially with eleven other players already locked in with similar clauses — but insists Raddysh’s all-around game, from scoring to defense, is exactly what they’ve been missing. With this move, along with a new coach and prior trades, the Leafs are clearly betting big on reshaping their roster with bold, high-impact signings.
