This is very nice to see. Repeat offenders should be punished. If he doesn't learn from this, give him 20 games next time. But I'm guessing losing $400k will teach him a thing or two already.
https://www.nhl.com/news/flyers-radk...es/c-293156150NEW YORK - Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Radko Gudas has been suspended for 10 games, without pay, for slashing Winnipeg Jets forward Mathieu Perreault during NHL Game No. 284 in Winnipeg on Thursday, Nov. 16, the National Hockey League's Department of Player Safety announced today.The incident occurred at 9:50 of the first period. Gudas was assessed a major penalty and game misconduct for slashing.
Gudas is considered a repeat offender under the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement and, based on his average annual salary, will forfeit $408,536.60. The money goes to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund.

I was at the game... originally he was only getting a 2 Min Penalty called.
Like so many before him, he will eventually play himself out of the league..

This is baked right into his value when you draft him... you KNOW this is coming and you hope its only once this year.
He has the potential to be a great dman in the league if he can stop coming off the rails
This suspension sounds about right. What a senseless, reckless act.
Seems like a ton of suspensions this week. But this one is so the wrong call! Don't get me wrong I'm happy he got 10 games and loses 400k but I think he should have gotten more. Maybe even the whole season if not a full on ban. I mean this was just one dirty dirty play. He litterly did it down on his head/kneck

I've always thought, for fantasy purposes, that for every game a player is suspended they should get credited with 60 PIMS!!

Meh, this is fantasy hockey, not real hockey. It's up to the commissioners to decide if they want PIM to be a positive or negative.

The good thing tho is this has been the only real dangerous play/hit all yr and we're ~25% through the yr. and it's Gudas....so like we expect this to happen, so the actual smart players have learned.

What a dirty play. Kinda hard to deny he intended to strike Perreault on or around the head. I'm on the fence with 10 games being enough. I think in today's game, that could be a 20 game message, but whatever, it's the NHL DOPS, where the S is for Salary.

With his history in mind, 20 games would have been better. But 10 games is better than 3 or 4 which is what he probably would have received without the history.
At least he hit him directly on the helmet instead of hitting the neck area. You could kill a guy with a hockey stick to the neck.
Who woulda thunk that Gudas was this important to the Flyers.... have not won a game since he was suspended.
