he’s certainly not making the decision easy for the front office. ultimately a good problem to have but yeah, always a chance he walks and goes ppg or walks and turns into rangers kevin shattenkirk
Love Raddysh but I think we need to tread lightly here. If he can finish the year scoring at this clip even when we get Hedman back, wouldn’t mind signing him to 3 x $6m aav.
I agree with a lot of what Friedge said but Raddysh could easily get 4-5 year deal in the $8m aav range if he keeps this pace up.
It’s almost like the Sherwood situation where he’s having a monster season in a contract year and is a great piece for a win now team but somebody will inevitably overpay for him this offseason.
Transcript or summary?
I hate to be this guy, but I really think we trade him this year…or Heddy, which won’t happen with his NMC.
