Gudas Free Agent? Canadiens Seek Different Defense

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.
