In the 2016–17 season, Raddysh helped the Otters to their second J. Ross Robertson Cup in franchise history, scoring 109 points in just 58 regular season games. Raddysh was named a Third Team All-Star at the conclusion of the season.[2] On May 15, 2017, Raddysh was signed to a three-year, entry level contract with the Tampa Bay Lightning.[3]
On January 6, 2018, Raddysh along with Detroit Red Wings prospect Jordan Sambrook were traded to the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds in exchange for Hayden Fowler and nine draft picks.[4] Following the 2017–18 season, Raddysh participated at the Lightning's 2018–19 training camp. He was reassigned to the Lightning's American Hockey League affiliate, the Syracuse Crunch, on September 23.[5] On December 28, 2018, in a game against the Utica Comets, he recorded 5 assists in a 10–0 Crunch win. His 46 points (18 goals, 28 assists) helped lead the Crunch to a division title.
On April 19, 2021, Raddysh was named the CCM/AHL Player of the Week for the period ending April 18, 2021.[6] He scored three goals and added three assists in three games, including scoring his first career shorthanded goal.
On October 13, 2021, Raddysh made his NHL debut with the Tampa Bay Lightning against the Pittsburgh Penguins at Amalie Arena.[7][8] On November 1, 2021, Raddysh recorded his first career NHL assist and point.[9] On December 4, 2021, Raddysh recorded his first career NHL goal in a 3-2 Lightning OT win over the Boston Bruins at TD Garden.[10] Raddysh was the 5th player in Lightning history to score a shorthanded goal as their first career goal.[11]

Taylor didn’t skate with the Lightning that night, however, due to an illness. [14]
