Philadelphia Flyers D Radko Gudas is a Playing Like a First Pairing Defenseman

When the Philadelphia Flyers traded Braydon Coburn to the Lightning in March of 2015, the biggest return was the first round pick. Tampa Bay was gearing up for a Cup run and the Flyers were rebuilding so the trade made sense. The Flyers managed to get a third round pick as well and after some more trading at the draft, the first rounder they acquired from the Lightning turned into Travis Konecny.

By itself, that looks like a pretty darn good trade for Ron Hextall and the Flyers. But Tampa also sent over defenseman Radko Gudas to complete the trade.
