Toronto Maple Leafs consider signing Radko Gudas as free agent
Summary

The Toronto Maple Leafs may pursue Radko Gudas in free agency, according to ESPN's Kevin Weekes. Gudas, the captain of the Anaheim Ducks, has drawn interest from multiple teams, including the Maple Leafs and the Florida Panthers. This potential signing has drawn attention due to Gudas's controversial hit on Leafs captain Auston Matthews, which sidelined him last season. As Toronto looks to reshape its defense after a missed playoff opportunity, they are expected to consult Matthews regarding the consideration of Gudas.
