Lil update on the Darren Raddysh extension. Hoping a deal gets done to lock him in

Translation: “we really want him to stay but don’t know if we can afford it.”
Does this mean we trade him at the deadline? Or do we just let him walk?
FWIW I heard Darren loves it here and wants to stay. But given it’s his best chance at getting a big contract, I think he has to go to the open market and see what’s out there.
Probably should’ve worked on the extension when he was a healthy scratch two months ago
If GM wants to extend it, he should hurry up, because the price is increasing with each game.
I wouldn’t want to overpay him bc this could easily be an outlier season, but he is reliable in general.
If he can be team friendly and do like a $4×6 then sure (I wouldn’t want to commit to 8 years since he’s 29).
If Raddysh can get a massive payday somewhere else then obviously he should take it. I think he’s shown himself to be worth a good sum this season, but realistically he’s not an 8m a year guy. I mean, if he continues to play like he is right now, then he is. But you can’t assume that a 30-year-old player having a career season is going to continue playing at that level.
All that said, if we can lock him up for a reasonable price then I think we absolutely should. Not just because I like him and he’s been so good, but because he has chemistry with Moser and that’s a defensive pair that we should try to keep together if at all possible.
Bleeds blue? He might be a horseshoe spider in disguise
Gotta see some postseason production to have any idea what his range is.
You don’t pay defensemen $8+ million AAV for a hot stretch of regular season production.
When JBB goes out of his way to talk like this, you know damn well he floated something like $4M to Raddy’s agents 😂**🤦**
