Toronto Maple Leafs Eye Darren Raddysh

On March 28, Toronto Maple Leafs are eyeing Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman, Darren Radish,

as they gear up for major off-season moves.

This 30-year-old pending unrestricted free agent from Caledon, Ontario just had a monster

breakout season with 20 goals and 65 points in 64 games.

He's a right-shot guy with putt-moving skills and a heavy power play shot that helped Tampa

through tough stretches.

British could land a 6-year deal worth 6-7 million dollars a year, maybe even 8 million

if bidding heats up.

That's a big swing for Toronto, who desperately need help on the right side of their blue

line amid whispers of roster shakeups like trading stars or firing coaches.

Fans are split, bracing for another long-term contract that might not age well given the

Leafs track record with free agent splurges.

Players on general manager Brad Treleving to deliver, especially if he's fighting to

keep his job in his pivotal summer.

Early Buzz suggests Toronto fits as a top suitor, with cap space opening if players like Brandon

Carlo leave or big names get moved.

Radish's local roots and upside make him tempting, but his prior career high was just 37 points,

so sustaining this production is the big.

Fleshtion

If he hits 50 to 55 points into his 30s with a cap rising, it could pay off big.

Otherwise, it's another anchor dragging flexibility.

Keep watching this free agency frenzy.

Leafs love these high stakes chases.
