Radko Gudas Reveals Why He Did Not Want To Play For Toronto
We now know the reason why Radko Gudas did not want to play in Toronto.
Gudas Reveals Why He Avoided Toronto
It is no secret that Radko Gudas is a playoff-style player. A player with more career penalty minutes than games played always tends to thrive in the playoff spotlight.
During the Florida Panthers' cup finals run, they went through some formidable opponents including the Boston Bruins and Carolina Hurricanes. However, Gudas noticed that the media was the loudest when he played against Toronto.
Gudas recently revealed why he did not sign with the Maple Leafs despite them offering him a contract.
Media Pressure
It is obvious that playing for any Canadian market will bring the brightest lights and the loudest media members. At 33 years old, Gudas has played exclusively for American teams and would like to continue to do so.
By signing a 3-year contract in Anaheim, he proved to everybody that he would rather play outside of the spotlight with a smaller market than be competitive on the 2nd biggest stage possible.
Could this be another example of the Toronto media screwing the Leafs over?
