Gudas, who just helped Florida to the 2023 Stanley Cup Final, has been known as one of the NHL's toughest defenders over the last decade, with 2,565 hits in that span. The right-shot blueliner inked a three-year deal with Anaheim, offering the Ducks an immediate physical veteran presence at even strength and on the penalty kill. His +62 rating over the past four seasons, and +41 mark in the last two campaigns, each rank in the top-20 across the NHL.
