Tampa Bay Lightning extend Darren Raddysh

Tampa Bay Lightning general manager Julien BriseBois continues to bring certainty to his roster not only for this season, but for upcoming seasons as he inked defenseman Darren Raddysh to a two-year extension which will keep him under contract through the 2025-26 season.

The $975,000 annual value represents a raise of about $200,000 over his current $762,500 contract that expires at the end of this season. More significantly, for the first time in his career, the 27 year-old is signing a one-way contract which guarantees that he’ll be paid the same in the AHL as he would be in the NHL.
