Radko Gudas's story
Growing up in Kladno, Radko Gudas learned his hockey in the same town where his father, Leo Gudas, had an international pedigree. He moved to North America in 2009 and spent a season with the Everett Silvertips of the WHL; that rookie major-junior year yielded 7 goals, 30 assists and 151 penalty minutes and helped him be selected 66th overall by the Tampa Bay Lightning in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.
Tampa Bay signed him to an entry-level deal and he developed in the AHL, first with Norfolk and later Syracuse. He was part of the Admirals group that set a professional record for consecutive wins and helped Norfolk capture the Calder Cup in 2012. Gudas made his NHL debut on 12 March 2013 against the Florida Panthers and finished that initial stint in the league with 2 goals and 3 assists in 22 games.
In March 2015 Tampa Bay traded him to the Philadelphia Flyers in a deal that sent Braydon Coburn the other way. His time in Philadelphia included a four-year contract signed in June 2016 and a series of on-ice incidents that led to multiple suspensions, including three games in December 2015 and a six-game ban in October 2016. Washington acquired him in June 2019 for Matt Niskanen. As a free agent he signed a three-year deal with the Florida Panthers in October 2020, then joined the Anaheim Ducks on a three-year contract in July 2023 and was named the ninth captain in Ducks history in his second Anaheim season. In June 2026 he returned to the Panthers via trade and subsequently signed a long-term extension.
Internationally Gudas represented the Czech Republic at two World Junior Championships, at the 2014 Winter Olympics, at the 2026 Winter Olympics and won a gold medal at the 2024 IIHF World Championship. His game is defined by physicality and willingness to engage: a defence-first approach that leans on heavy hits and toughness, a style that has won him roster roles and trophies but also repeated scrutiny and discipline from the league for dangerous plays.
