MAJOR | Radko Gudas gets a piece of his own medicine: That's why the Canucks NEED Ivan Barbashev

Radko Gudas is known across the NHL for his crushing hits. He's played a big part in the Panthers' success, and his physicality will be needed if they intend on getting through the Golden Knights.

Barbashev has been linked to the Canucks on multiple occasions to play down the middle behind Pettersson and Miller; his physicality surely is one thing the Canucks could use. He's also known to be quite the playoff performer, as he's been coming up big for the Knights, just like he did when he won the cup with the Blues.
