Lightning Have a Darren Raddysh Call to Make This Summer

Tampa Bay has another one of those front-office decisions that looks simple until you start counting cap dollars and right-side depth. Darren Raddysh has done enough to force the Lightning to decide whether he is part of the plan or part of the conversation. Teams with championship ambitions hate losing useful defensemen, but they hate bad value even more. This is the kind of offseason call that quietly shapes a roster before the big names ever enter the room.
