…and his shot was fed by sweet kucherov saucer passes.
Now his shot will be fed by sweet McKenna and Willy passes.
One thing that hasn’t been talked about enough is Willy’s development into a pretty solid playmaker. Some of his passes reminded me of that Stanley Cup loser.
Updated RHD:
Raddysh
Carlo
Tanev
Andrae
Danford
Villeneuve
Myers
(OEL can also play there)Something has to give

Raddysh finished the regular season with 96 shots over 90 miles per hour – 45 more than anyone else.That’s actually pretty wild considering I force myself to watch a lot of Bouch bombs.
I think you need to really recalibrate your AAV for 2026 on with cap hits 104 > 113 > 120+
8.5 feels a tad high to me, but I hope they still move out Rielly to make room for more movesThe big issue I have is length. Raddysh had a great year. You have to also account that it was his last chance at a huge payday in a contract year. His previous years were average, but last year he was very good. I’m worried that a David Clarkson type of scenario happens. It’s a huge risk, if he reverts back to his previous performances. Teams like Tampa don’t let talent go so freely, especially to a division rival. That must also be taken into account.
I don’t mind him on the team, but the term and the cap hit are not palatable. It should have been 4 years at $6M AAV. An overpayment. I guess you can officially say, it’s not going to be a rebuild, but a quick retool. The Leafs still need at least one more, YOUNG defenseman. They also need a number 2 center. There needs to be some pruning. Robertson, Domi, Maccelli Stecher and of course, addition through subtraction. It’s time to get Rielly off of he roster and start acquiring draft picks for future use. No more trading firsts and seconds for journeymen. The Leafs are looking like they’ll be competitive next year, so those 2 lost 1st’s won’t be top of the draft phenoms. Enough of that shit going forward.

8.5 feels a tad high to me, but I hope they still move out Rielly to make room for more movesLooking at the Leafs defense, it appears to be:
Raddysh – OEL
Tanev – McCabe
Carlo – ????
Carlo will be traded, sometime in the new year and Danford will take his place. The Leafs need a Left shooting defenseman to round out the top 6.
Incoming huge mistake for Raddysh…Leafs never learn.

I just watched all of Raddysh’s goals from last year, and there wasn’t a single saucer pass.
Saw some passes from Kucherov in his feet that he still put home though.
8.5M isn’t top pair money or it won’t be this season.
Wait and see what Kucherov gets on his new deal, or Makar after this season, same for Quinn Hughes.
IF (and yes it’s an IF for sure) Raddysh’s play continues the way he played this past year for the first 4 or 5 years of this deal the Leafs made out like bandits are people will say how good the value for money is (much like many do with Makar’s deal now). If Raddysh takes a step back it’s a new whipping boy for the media and fanbase once Reilly is moved.
It could always be worse, look at what Pittsburgh is paying for Karleson or Edmonton is paying Nurse! lol
at the moment 8.5 is top pair $$, puts him around 25th highest paid D. 8.2% of cap
but yeah thats about to shift big time.but he’s not a true top pair guy worth top pair money
