It's been over under 65 points for Darren Raddysh of the Toronto Maple Leafs next season.
Drew, what do you think?
I'm taking the under.
I think the Leaf's power play is gonna be better this year where obviously he had most of his success in Tampa with Hedman being out.
I still like the signing.
I think that it was the right signing by the Leafs but I think offensively he's gonna regress a little bit.
Mm-hmm.
How about you, Mick?
I actually think he's gonna get more opportunity now that he's in Toronto because Toronto's never had a Darren Raddysh.
They've never had a guy that can, you know, fire the puck like he has and that's why they've gone to that five man, you know, all forward, power play unit for- quite a while now.
So now that they've got a guy that can shoot, I think he's just gonna be the setup guy and, you know, if we think that Auston Matthews is gonna get the rocket then someone's gonna have to be getting all those assists and I think, you know, Raddysh is gonna be the benefactor for a lot of those points.
All right.
Very interesting.
I think it'll be, the under but like I think he could still get like 60 points so not much under that
