Darren Raddysh likely to test the open market
Jason Gregor: Erik Erlendsson on Sports 1440 on Tampa Bay Lightning’s pending UFA defenseman Darren Raddysh will likely test free agency.
“I expect he will try free agency. The potential for what he could command on the open market compared to what he could get from Tampa is why he will test it.
The hard shot has always been there, but he worked on his accuracy, and he worked on his defending. He was much better in his own zone and that led to him playing more.
NHL Rumors: Detroit Red Wings and Minnesota Wild
He was in and out of the lineup for the first few weeks, but then Hedman and McDonagh got hurt in the same game, and then Cernak got hurt a few games later and Raddysh got back in the lineup and found his defensive play and he excelled on the powerplay,”
The San Jose Sharks and their blue line
Jason Gregor: Sheng Peng on Sports 1440 on the San Jose Sharks and their blue line.
“I believe (Mario) Ferraro will walk, while I think (Vincent) Desharnais will re-sign. The Sharks desperately need to improve their defense. And they will look to do it in free agency and via trade. If the Sharks draft (Ivar) Stenberg, then they could move a young forward like (William) Eklund to acquire a proven D-man.”
