Gudas refused to get traded to his biggest rival and reveals why

In a recent interview with Denik Sport, Radko Gudas openly discussed his decision to decline offers from CGY, EDM, and TOR, stating his preference not to play in Canada.

The defenseman attributed this choice to the intense media pressure he experienced during the playoffs, which was a major factor influencing his decision-making.



Gudas went on to explain that even during his time with Florida, he felt the weight of media scrutiny, leading him to steer clear of the Canadian market.


It's evident that the demanding media environment can significantly impact players and influence their choices when it comes to selecting a team destination.
