29-Year-Old DefensemanD
Tampa Bay Lightning
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Raddysh was never drafted by an NHL franchise and had to spend five campaigns in the AHL before getting his first taste of NHL action during his sixth pro season. Even then, Raddysh didn't become a full-time player until 2023-24 at the age of 27 (he's now 28). It's a feel-good story about how perseverance can pay off, and unlike other late bloomers, he even provides a decent amount of fantasy value. While the Canadian defenseman isn't going to be headlining squads, his six goals and 33 points in 82 outings last season is still noteworthy, and with his position on the top pairing alongside Victor Hedman seemingly secure, Raddysh should provide 30-40 points in 2024-25.

Raddysh scored a power-play goal and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Panthers.
ANALYSIS
Raddysh provided the Lightning's last goal midway through the third period. The 29-year-old was able to avoid an absence after sustaining an undisclosed injury Sunday versus the Sabres. Raddysh has two points over the last three games and is up to six goals, 37 points (nine on the power play), 105 shots on net, 67 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating over 72 appearances.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2020
The OHL Defenseman of the Year in 2016-17, Raddysh joined the Tampa Bay lineup in mid-March and was a regular for the club the rest of the season and into the playoffs. His offensive production was minimal (one goal, three points in 17 games), but the entirety of Raddysh's prior NHL experience was just four games back in 2021-22. The 27-year-old appears to be battling with youngster Haydn Fleury and veterans Zach Bogosian and Calvin De Haan for two spots in the Lightning's Opening Night lineup this fall.
Raddysh demonstrated some offensive aptitude with 28 points in 62 games with AHL Hartford last season, but the 24-year-old Toronto native's only realistic path to playing time with the Rangers this season involves multiple injuries to the team's current defense corps. Even if he somehow snuck onto the third pairing, Raddysh likely wouldn't provide enough value to be worth consideration in fantasy.
