The San Jose Sharks have lost out on Darren Raddysh.
The 30-year-old right-handed defenseman was one of the biggest names on the free agency market, after a 22-goal and 70-point campaign for the Tampa Bay Lightning.
The San Jose Sharks, looking to shore up their defense, certainly could’ve used that type of productivity on their blueline,
Instead, the Toronto Maple Leafs jumped the line for Raddysh’s services.
With Raddysh and the Lightning far apart in contract negotiations, Tampa Bay punted before Jul. 1, sending Raddysh to Toronto for a fifth-round pick.
As part of the sign-and-trade deal, Raddysh came out with a new eight-year, $68 million ($8.5 million AAV) contract.
Should the San Jose Sharks have trumped Toronto’s offer?
And would it have mattered? Raddysh is a Toronto native.
