AJgoal Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 Per MacKenzie: Gudas gets a four-year deal with PHI. AAV is in the range of $3M to $3.5M. Quite a bit more than I would have thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samifan Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 That's a helluva raise from what he made last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesesteak Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Wow, isn't that what B. Schenn was making when he started as a Flyer? Seems like a lot but in Hexy we trust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OccamsRazor Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Hopefully there is no NTC or NMC involved too....makes Mcdud's contract that much uglier....if that is even possible.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyercanuck Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Not a bad deal for either side. He was a pleasant surprise last season. Pinnochio and Carchidi don't like the deal...it must be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
off_the_post Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I don't mind resigning him as I like the player. However I think he is overpaid. I would think he should have come in around Nick Schultz money ($2.25M I think) especially with a 4 year contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hf101 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Signing is front loaded making him very tradeable by the 4th year. If he continues to be one of the top 4 d-men on the team this will be a great deal by Hexy. Depending on where and how he plays will determine whether or not he is protected from the expansion draft.

DaGreatGazoo Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 People are freaking out on Twitter, etc over the Gudas deal. Probably same people who freaked when Rinaldo got signed to a 2 year deal.--which ended up in a 3rd round pick! Like ya'all have said...this is a bridge deal until the young pups are ready. It's not an awful deal and it's moveable if necessary down the road, like HF said. He's also a right handed HEAVY shot, which this team has desperately needed for years.

murraycraven Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Little too high and a little too long for my liking... I like Gudas but let's be real.... he is not worth that type of raise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sekkes85 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I like the deal. He wasn't signing under 3 million the way he played last season. If he can stay healthy and keep up the level of play he had last year while keeping it clean, $3.3 is a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
activestick Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I like it. He was surprisingly very effective last year. He does some bone head things once in a while but his style of play keeps the other teams guessing. I like his edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KjellShocked Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I don't like this deal one bit. In a league trending towards speed and puck movement, we just locked up a pylon with a penchant for taking the bad penalty for the next 4 years with a $3,000,000+ cap hit. This reminds me of the Hatcher signing right after the lock out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the article but still think this is too high and too long for what Gudas brings (and I like him). I see him more of a 4th through 6th type defenseman that can move up when needed. I do think he proved he can play a solid game but this one is a head-scratcher for me on term and pay. With that said I dont see this contract being an issue... Somewhat front-loaded and still not terrible. I assume if he does not repeat last year he will be left unprotected come the expansion draft too...

Howie58 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Jowdy: A four year deal seems a bit much...salary high too. Agree with Puck Daddy this is good or bad depending on how close he comes to replicating last year's performance. As a top 4, it's reasonable. If we get the old version--a guy who takes dumb penalties....boy, a mistake. I guess part of the reasoning is the mix of people we expect on the Blue Line starting next year...he will be the hitter among the smooth skaters who puts the fear of God in opposing players.

canoli Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I like it just fine. Gotta admit it took me a second to remember just how well he played: his big hits resulting in penalties are what I recall first thinking about Gudas. But the fact is he did play well esp as the year progressed, less going for monster hits more controlled aggression. I like the deal, would not have liked to lose him because Hexy wasn't willing to pay more than 2.5 or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OccamsRazor Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Just now, murraycraven said: it was said in jest... Oh i thought we had lost you. He is being paid like a top #4 which is where he is slotted so i am ok with it. By the end of his contract/last year i hope Morin, Sanheim and Hagg have arrived and Myers should be in the AHL. Friedman should be close to either in the AHL or just making the NHL. So his 2.5 mill by then for a 7th Dman will be right in line with today's inflation.
