Confirmed Signing with Link: [ANA] D Radko Gudas signs with the Ducks (3 years, $4M AAV)

[VivaLasVegas]

Wow, Gudas got PAID

Flyers - trade Risto right now while teams are paying stupid amounts for big physical D-Men

Or big physical amounts for stupid D-men.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

You get paid when you have the best beard in the NHL.

 

[SmokeyDuck]

The beard alone is worth the extra 1 mil.

 

[lwvs84]

He's nice to have in his role. Just be aware, he will skate out of position to make a hit, consistently.

We just had Shattenkirk who would skate out of position to not make a hit so we're OK with it.

Ducks don't need money for 3-5 years still, so the contract is fine.

The Ducks desperately needed somebody to bring an ounce of sandpaper.

Yep... maybe a little high on the money ... but honestly were kinda in the same spot as Chicago, where we can over pay a player a bit if it fills a need. 3 years isnt bad... hell be able to help the young guys as they come up.

Guess is a warrior. Enjoy.

 

[KingsHockey24]

He's going to be annoying to see 10 times a year.

 

[Rooch]

This makes Zegras slightly less f***withable.

 

[Steve Zissou]

Will always remember Radko with the hit that wasn’t.

 

[vandymeer13]

He asked for 4M to get trucked by Barbashev 4x a year.

Guy gets hit once and put on his bacl and now he's not as physical as Barbashev? gtfo

 

[Channelcat]

I love Gudas! But wow!........he did good on this deal.

 

[rocketdan9]

Overpay

Wow

 

[Budz]

Biggest POS in the NHL.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

You kept hate watching after Gudas and the Panthers sent your record setting team of chokers to the golf course?

Nice attempt. Gudas' entire level of effectiveness was depending on whistles away holding/interference. Quickly rendered invisible in the Vegas series when the standards shifted away from enablement.

Did very well for himself with this final contract. Perfect storm of a situation for his wallet.

Gudas got hurt and lost his effectiveness not exposed from made up in your head lol "standards shift"... lmfao @PatriceBergeronFan

It's ok if you think that. As a ducks fan. I welcome that with open arms. After our young's guys had no protection last year

I get it, I’m sure I would like him on my team. Since he is not, there is no face I want to see get caved from a flurry of punches - more than his.

Glory Hole moves on…..

 

[FinlandPanther]

Ducks fans don’t listen to the clowns that have no clue about Gudas. Very serviceable Panther. You’re going to love him lining up dudes with clean but hard hits. Gudas teeters on that line of dirty but he rarely ever crosses it. He is an absolute pain in the ass and a GREAT teammate. All these goofs that say he can’t play are out to lunch. The guy is a legitimate bottom pair guy who can fill in occasionally into the top 4 (but don’t keep him there permanently). He’s grown a lot since his Tampa days. Yes he has the occasional dumb ass penalty but he stands up for his teammates. Sometimes he gets out of position for a big hit but it’s not really often.

 

[Kimota]

I mean I get it, he's a unique player in this day and age. But I don't know how he's gonna affect the Ducks that much. He would have been better on a contender but you cannot refuse that kind of money. lol

Totally. The guy would probably breathe fire if he didn't have that beard, and his toughness would be welcome on most clubs. Contending teams that lack toughness wouldn't be crying about a slight overpay if they had him. I'm sure GM's are trying to dissect why the Panthers crap on paper D wasn't that bad in the playoff run. The LBOH probably felt Gudas was a big reason.

Disaster contract for a terrible player. Gudas blows.
