Doesn’t matter how he looks when he’s 36. His contract will be expiring by then lol

Was definitely one of the targets I hoped PV would go after. I dig it. He's not a top-pairing guy by any means, but at least he's a legit NHL D-man and tough to play against and fills a need. As long as he stays serviceable, it's not a terrible contract.

In two years everyone will be dying to get him off the ice but *shrug*
Been missing that since Manson was traded. I think Gudas does it even better than Manson did.
I love signings that have zero upside and can only get worse haha. When you sign someone and immediately think day one…”hopefully he can hold up ok…“
I think we will love him year 1… but he will take a nosedive before year 3
At that point we can just buy him out, ship him to a competitor, or bury him the AHL. *shrugs*

Of course we gotta over pay for you to play on the WORST team in the NHL last season. They dont understand that this is a deal with good term for our particular plan

Yeah in 2-3 years, a lot of our D prospects should be ready or fully established in the NHL. The AAV is steep but the term is more than fine, given our time-line.

Love it. Welcome aboard Radko, now sign a forward that can protect the youngsters as well.
Can’t believe anyone would dislike this signing, who cares about the contract, it’s not going to inhibit us in any way. We needed to insulate and protect our prospects so they can develop properly. Huge hole filled.
Gudas can also play regular minutes and he’s known as a great teammate.

I never held it against him, it was a great hit. Glad he's on our side now.
The contract won't hurt us, assuming he plays this season Carlsson will need a contract in 3 years. You can always keep Gudas as a #7 of necessary and save the money for new contracts the next year. Actually, I think that's when Minty, Zell, etc will need new ones too. Having $4 mil come off the books that summer is great.

No problem with this signing. He looked pretty solid throughout the playoffs (until injured). I did not expect to log in and see anything done this quick. Very different.
Replacing Shattenkirk with Gudas is a move in the right direction. Very happy with this signing and don't give a flying duck about the cap implications.
Honestly, I felt as though that was a perfectly fine hit. Teemu, especially in his last playing years, was very slow to react and had his head down way too often.

Quack Quack Quack!
Term might be one year too long but we probably had to give it if we wanted him. Excellent signing.

As long as he doesn’t go full Bieksa on us, I’m fine with this contract.
We gave Klingberg $7m for basically nothing. If we get 2 good years out of Gudas, that is all we need. Move him at the TDL in his 3rd year to a contender.

A bit too expensive for my liking but I guess it's fine with the cap rising. It's a start for retooling the defense. Certainly makes up for letting Benoit go.
My favourite moment from Gudas in the last playoffs

Love the signing, now get a face puncher for the 4th line because Carrick can’t handle that role.
Not many left… slow footed Gadjovich?
Would be interesting since Jones bloodied him up with a dirty cross check in juniors.
It would have been nice to have him last year. He beat down agitator Jenik (who crushed Z with a big hit last year).
