Yeah, they aren't really close at all value-wise. I like Gudas a lot. He would be an upgrade over Smid, and could potentially be a 2nd pairing guy that could add some physical play there, but he is not nearly as well rounded as Brodie. Tampa does a really good job of managing his ice-time.

I don't think they would let him go easily, but I don't think he is untouchable. He's more like a younger Robidas.
