At the end of March, in Elliotte Friedman’s 30 Thoughts post, he revealed that there were a few teams interested interested in signing Raddysh, the 21-year old, undrafted, now free agent defenseman. He named the Vancouver Canucks as one of them.
Raddysh doubled his point totals this season with the Otters as their number one defenseman, putting up 81 points in 62 OHL games. He was also a point-per-game player in the OHL playoffs (22 points in 22 games), helping Erie capture the J. Ross Robertson trophy and advance to the Memorial Cup, where he contributed 8 points in 6 games.
