Taylor Raddysh: our analysis

2025-26 season: 68 GP, 9 G, 10 A, 19 PTS, +5 +/-, 11:51 TOI. WAR 0.9 (173rd of 615) · PAL 32, below average.

In 2025-26, Taylor Raddysh, 28, posts a PAL Rating of 32 out of 100 (below average), and his WAR of 0.9 ranks 173rd among 615 regulars, in the top half.

His strengths: defense (77, well above average) and penalty kill (71, above average). On the other hand, power play (16, well below average) and creation (16, well below average) hold him back.

Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: finishing (+2.0); his biggest cost: penalties (-0.5).

A marked decline: his PAL was 44 in 2024-25, against 32 now; his WAR, though, went from -0.0 to 0.9.

Contract-wise, his Value score of 37 (poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.

Taylor Raddysh's story

Growing up in Caledon, Taylor Raddysh developed the habits and instincts that would carry him through junior hockey and into the pros. Selected 19th overall by the Erie Otters in the 2014 OHL draft, he became known early for his scoring touch and playmaking ability.

Raddysh exploded offensively in 2016–17, piling up 109 points in 58 regular-season games and playing a key role as the Otters captured the J. Ross Robertson Cup. That season earned him a spot on the OHL Third All-Star Team and led to a three-year entry-level contract with the Tampa Bay Lightning, signed on 15 May 2017. A trade in January 2018 sent him to the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds before he moved on to professional ranks.

Sent to the Syracuse Crunch of the AHL on 23 September 2018, he put up notable performances there: a five-assist outing on 28 December 2018 in a 10–0 win over Utica and a 46-point rookie campaign (18 goals, 28 assists) that helped Syracuse win its division. In April 2021 he earned CCM/AHL Player of the Week honours after recording three goals and three assists in three games, including his first career shorthanded goal. Raddysh made his NHL debut on 13 October 2021 against Pittsburgh at Amalie Arena, notched his first NHL point on 1 November 2021, and scored his first NHL goal on 4 December 2021 at TD Garden — that opener came shorthanded, making him the fifth player in Lightning history whose first goal was on the penalty kill.

Tampa Bay traded him to the Chicago Blackhawks on 18 March 2022 as part of a package to acquire Brandon Hagel. Raddysh finished the 2021–22 season with 10 points in 21 games for Chicago and followed with a 2022–23 campaign that produced 37 points and a team-high 20 goals. He enjoyed a hot stretch from 8–14 March 2023, scoring six goals and adding an assist across four contests. After a 2023–24 season that yielded 14 points and no qualifying offer, he became a free agent.

On 1 July 2024 he signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the Washington Capitals and appeared in 80 games in 2024–25, recording 7 goals and 27 points. He then signed a two-year, $3 million deal with the New York Rangers on 1 July 2025, spent 2025–26 with the Rangers, began 2026–27 with their AHL affiliate Hartford before being recalled on 16 October 2026. Internationally, Raddysh represented Canada at the World Junior Championships, scoring four goals in a game against Latvia on 29 December 2016 and helping Canada to gold in 2018. His profile is straightforward: a winger with offensive instincts, a nose for the net and an ability to contribute in special-teams situations.
