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.

Hip
May 1, 2024
Raddysh was dealing with a hip pointer when the Bolts were eliminated from the postseason, Chris Krenn of the Lightning's official site reports Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Raddysh was out of the lineup for Tampa Bay's final two contests due to his hip injury. Unless the 28-year-old Toronto native requires surgery, he should be ready to play when training camp opens in the fall. He'll be an unrestricted free agent this summer, so Raddysh may not be back with the Lightning in 2024-25.

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.

Raddysh has eight goals and 29 points in 20 AHL contests this season. That puts him in second place in the AHL scoring race and first among defensemen.
