Gudas is a hard-hitting Czech defenseman, who has three assists in 19 playoff games with the Florida Panthers and Wilson is a rugged winger, who has 128 career goals and 1,229 penalty minutes with the Washington Capitals.
“Wilson and Gudas would change the complexion of their lineup a lot,” Kulfan said on the podcast. “You put Wilson up front and Gudas back there with people like (Moritz) Seider and Ben Chaiot and suddenly, you’ve got a different and tougher team. You would have to keep your head on a swivel if you’re the other team.”
