Tampa Bay has potential to reunite two brothers in free agency

   

Veteran Lightning fans may remember Taylor Raddysh as an exciting up-and-coming forward ready to make an impact for the Tampa Bay Lightning. Now, fans will remember Taylor Raddysh for a completely different reason: a vital part of the trade package that landed Brandon Hagel as per the NHL.

While Taylor Raddysh had a short stint with Bolts, he may have another opportunity to return to his former squad. After all, Raddysh was selected 58th overall by the Bolts in 2016 as per the NHL. PuckPedia lists Taylor Raddysh as a current unrestricted free agent in need of a fresh contract for the 2025-2026 NHL season. 

During the 2024-2025 NHL regular season with the Washington Capitals, the NHL lists Raddysh as having recorded seven goals and 20 assists for 27 points in 80 games. If signed by the Bolts, Raddysh will most likely be dealt to handle a bottom-six role. 

What makes the signing really interesting for the Bolts is the potential for a brotherly reunion. Darren Raddysh, the brother of Taylor Raddysh, is a consistent Lightning defenseman known for his strong shot. Darren Raddysh finished the 2024-2025 NHL season with 37 points as per the NHL. Should Taylor sign with Tampa Bay, he will be reunited with his brother Darren in the National Hockey League. Thus, there is a realistic opportunity the Raddysh brothers could be wearing the same jersey during the 2025-2026 NHL season. 

Taylor Raddysh when examining his options for free agency will surely look at the possibility of sharing a locker room with his brother in Amalie Arena. A brotherly duo in Tampa Bay would be especially unique and could serve as the foundation for a stellar season moving forward. 

 

General Manager Julien BriseBois must thoroughly examine his options in free agency in order to do what is best for the Tampa Bay Lightning franchise. After all his searching, he may realize one of his most intriguing options is to reunite the Raddysh brothers.

Look for Tampa Bay to have a hopefully busy and productive free agency period.
