Player Discussion Radko Gudas

I don’t understand why we are so bad at timing. We didn’t go hard after him when he was 30, but we decide to go hard after him at 33. How is he going to look when he’s 36? Is he going to get an injury working out with medicine balls like Souray?

I would have preferred Schenn’s contract even with more $$$.

Well… at least we didn’t give that money to Holl.
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.

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*

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.
 
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.
