They actually have quite different skillsets, aside from being big guys. Gud is tough, plays good positional D, can fight and clears well. Z is a better skater and open ice hitter and is better offensively, but more prone to mistakes and getting beaten up.

Yeah we're on the same page. I would rather have Z right now as well. I didn't think he show cased his skating and offensive skills as much that year. I'm pretty sure Gudbranson had more goals and they both had similar point totals. Z also used to take a lot more penalties that year.
That's why I could see why a team took a flyer on Gudbranson that year for more money.
