In a recent interview with Denik Sport, Radko Gudas revealed that he received offers from CGY, EDM, and TOR but turned them down due to his preference not to play in Canada.
Gudas cited the intense media pressure during the playoffs as a major factor in his decision.
He experienced the pressure even when he played for Florida, and that was enough to make him avoid the Canadian market.
The defenseman's choice reflects the significant impact media scrutiny can have on players, influencing their decisions on team destinations.
