You guys are going to love him. He was crucial in turning our loser culture around. Sad to see him go, but I can't hate him for taking the bag.

Artturi Lehkonen was on a podcast a while ago talking about his rookie season and told the story of his first encounter with Gudas. When they were waiting for the puck to drop Gudas stared him down and shouted 'Who the **** are you?' and then said something in czech to Plekanec who was in the same line as Lehkonen. After the game Lehkonen learned what he said was 'Did you bring your kid to work?'
This is exactly the type of deal I was hoping for in May.

Even if he's bad the third year, this was a great signing.
Not even close. Horrible take. Stoner was never a feared physical presence and Gudas is also a much better player
Who cares? I think you could say this about pretty much every UFA signing. Welcome to the NHL. Meanwhile, in the short term two major needs are filled - an NHL caliber D-man and a lot of truculence.

I think it has to come from italian. His parents have the most italian names ever, Giuliano and Julia, also brother Luca. Like come on, it has to be the Adamo Fantilli. We can just call him “the Italian”.
Its a market contract for a UFA. Identical $4.0M AAV to Gudbranson with one less year term. $500k less per year than Manson, also for one less year of term.

Gudas will show those young D Ducks prospects how to grow a real man's beard.
Terry will never get that even when he’s 50

Should it be concerning that the team announced Killorn right away but hasn't announced Gudas yet?

He doesn't have a NTC/NMC. This is a good contract for a player that will help insulate the transition to some of the prospects. I'm very happy. Need a partner for Drysdale now.

Verbeek not giving out NTC is great to see.

Fantastic signing! Will insulate the kids and tech them how to play. Contract isnt a concern as we have the space and he comes off before our next wave of big contracts.

I'd like McEwan and I guess Dumba or Foote
I love the signing. 1 year too long for it to be perfect, but you gotta convince him to come here some how.
But, I'm calling it now, he will be the new whipping boy. At some point people will be trashing him just like Shattenkirk. I really hope I am wrong.
Either way, even if he is an overpaid 3rd pairing guy he still brings an element that we desperately needed.

You could be right. But even if his defensive play falls off, he'll still bring toughness and a presence that Shat never had.
And in 2 or so years, they'll trade him for "something", which is more than we got for Shat.
