Playoff Villain Turned Down Toronto Maple Leafs in Free Agency

Though the Toronto Maple Leafs may have been deeply perturbed by his post season antics, it turns out that they had interest in the services of one of the Florida Panthers goons.

There was an opportunity for the Toronto Maple Leafs to steal Radko Gudas away from Florida. Now, that time has passed. However, it turns out that the Leafs did make an attempt to bring the defenseman to Toronto. We’ve learned from on a recent interview Gudas gave iSport in the Czech Republic that he turned down the Buds.

In that interview, Gudas explained that he decided to leave the Panthers after their offer to extend him came with an underwhelming dollar figure.
