Summary
Radko Gudas, Anaheim’s physical defenseman with 164 hits last season, is rumored to hit free agency—but the Montreal Canadiens are looking for more than just toughness. They need a top-four blueliner who can skate, read plays, and fit their system, not just drop gloves. While Gudas brings grit, his 16:11 ice time and style may not match what Montreal seeks as they aim to bridge veteran experience with younger talent like David Reinbacher.
