Darren Raddysh signs with the Leafs .. 8 x 9.5M ..
Looks like he had one breakout year..
|
He reminds me a bit of Erik Gustafsson in 2019 with the Blackhawks. Had a big breakout year while he also got to quarterback the powerplay, but never reached that level again (but did have a couple other decent years). The difference is that Gustafsson was 26 when he had his big year, but Raddysh was 29. So the Maple Leafs are going to be paying him $9.5M throughout his 30s. That is honestly pretty insane.

I had accidently had typed in 9.5M.. but its actually 8.5M x 8 .. still a reach at 30 yo..
That was a good comparison with Gustafson.. but as you say he was only 26
Apparently Raddysh has some trade protection in the contract.. not available yet..
