The Toronto Maple Leafs are pursuing a sign-and-trade deal to acquire defenseman Darren Raddysh from the Tampa Bay Lightning, with an agreement potentially finalized by Friday morning, according to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman. Raddysh, a Toronto native, had a standout season with 22 goals and 48 assists, and is set to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1. This would be the second significant defenseman trade for the Maple Leafs under new GM John Chayka, following the acquisition of Emil Andrae. Additionally, the team recently hired former Kings head coach Jim Hiller.
