Any lingering doubt that Toronto would take McKenna because of their desperate need for defense and availability of Reid at 1 has probably been put to rest. They pulled off a sign and trade for Raddysh. 

The Toronto Maple Leafs beat the market by landing one of the NHL’s top pending free agents in a blockbuster sign-and-trade deal on Friday morning.

The Leafs acquired offensive defenseman Darren Raddysh from the Tampa Bay Lightning for a draft pick and signed him to a massive eight-year contract for more than $8 million a season, a league source confirmed to The Athletic’s Pierre LeBrun. The lucrative payday makes Raddysh, 30, one of the highest paid defensemen in the NHL after having never earned more than $975,000 in any previous season.
