Dave Pagnotta: “Thanks. Yeah, he’s going to money in fairly properly on his subsequent contract, and effectively deserved. You noticed the incline of his recreation the final couple of seasons. I don’t assume anyone anticipated to get to this stage offensively, particularly, nevertheless it has been on the up, and the chance that he’s been given in Tampa to take advantage of his abilities, and we’ll see what the quantity falls in at. We all know that the tough discuss is trying on the JJ Moser kind of contract. I don’t know if that’s real looking in Tampa, however they’ll proceed the conversations.
He would be the top-prize defenseman out there if he hits July 1 as an unrestricted free agent. Up entrance, it will be as of now, Alex Tuckh if he goes to July 1, however Raddysh and the Tampa Bay Lightning, had been trying round for defensemen as effectively forward of the commerce deadline, in search of someone with time period that they’ll add into the combo.
In the event that they’re going to deliver Raddysh again, it’s going to be on a lengthier deal, nevertheless it must clearly make the cash work. I don’t assume one thing round $6 million may work per 12 months on an AAV, but when he does are available, round $4.5 million to $5 million per 12 months may be a bit extra palatable for the Bolts.”
NHLRumors.com Observe: Raddysh is ending up a two-year deal that carries a $975,000 AAV. So he can be getting an enormous bump. Even with the wage cap rising, the Lightning might not be capable of pay Raddysh as a lot as Moser, who signed an eight-year contract extension on December 27, 2025, with an AAV of $6.75 million.
