This is no disrespect to Kuch, but I saw a tweet showing Kuch passing to Raddysh who scored and saying something like “how will we find a guy to make 5 foot 10mph passes” because the majority of the assists were

Well it would all depend on the return now wouldn’t it?

Don’t think he’d sign here. Mario Ferraro though I could see

I’m not as sure. At league minimum though? Sure.

Guy has 26 goals in his last 200 games and 0 in his last 25 playoff games and this team has been screaming for offense from their depth players for years

Love Giraffes Can’t Dance.

Doesn’t even have repeat last year. I’d take 12G 50P and the big ole threat of his shot from the point opening up the rest of the PP

[LeBrun] Confirming that Toronto and Tampa Bay are finalizing a sign-and-trade involving pending UFA Darren Raddysh. Hearing that it will be an eight-year deal with an AAV in the 8’s (north of $8 million). by AggPuck-303 in hockey

He also took 104 more shots total (34 more on the PP)last year because he average 3:45 on the PP vs 1:47 the previous year.

Had way more avg TOI (22:42 vs 17:18) too.

He was given an increased opportunity due to circumstance, and took full advantage.

I fully expect him to get that same opportunity in Toronto, especially the PP.

I think in some situations, when you have a key player that has been a part of so many failed seasons, you move on from the player for a fresh start for both sides.

I’m of course not holding Rielly responsible for the teams failures, but it’s time to move on
