The San Jose Sharks are eyeing a bold move to upgrade their defense: Darren Raddysh, a breakout offensive defenseman from Tampa Bay, could be their answer — but at a steep price. After a stellar 2025-26 season where he quarterbacked the Lightning’s power play and racked up 26 power-play points, Raddysh is set to hit free agency on July 1. At 30, he’s a high-risk, high-reward gamble — with some projections pegging him at eight figures annually. If he lands in San Jose, he’d instantly anchor their top power play unit with his lethal shot. The Sharks’ GM, Mike Grier, might be taking a leap of faith — but this could be the upgrade they need to finally contend. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
