Lightning Trade Raddysh to Leafs

Tampa Bay Lightning pull off a savvy sign-and-trade, sending defenseman Darren Raddysh to Toronto for an eight-year deal — locking him down as a cornerstone for the Leafs’ future. Raddysh exploded last season with 70 points in 73 games, a career leap that included playoff contributions. New Leafs GM John Chayka raves about his two-way play and leadership potential. This move follows a busy offseason for Toronto, including a major goalie-defense swap with Philly, hiring Jim Hiller as coach, and holding the No. 1 draft pick — expected to select either Gavin McKenna or Ivar Stenberg — signaling a bold rebuild under Mats Sundin and Chayka.
