This afternoon, reports are confirming that Anaheim Ducks defenseman Radko Gudas will suffer a significant financial setback as a result of his latest suspension.
Radko Gudas has been publicly enemy number one of multiple hockey fan bases over the past month.
First, he injured Penguins captain Sidney Crosby during the Olympics knocking him out of action for several weeks.
Then, two nights ago, Gudas took down Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews with a clearly intentional knee-on-knee hit that ended Matthews' season.
As a result of his actions, Gudas was suspended for five games a major blow to the Ducks lineup as they chase a Stanley Cup Playoff spot.
Now, a report has confirmed exactly how much money he will lose during his suspension.
Radko Gudas suffers significant financial setback after most recent suspension
According to a new report, Gudas will forfeit over $100,000 as a result of his most recent five-game suspension.
Radko Gudas will forfeit $104,166.65 in salary during his 5-game suspension
With Gudas being a repeat offender when it comes to suspensions it is estimated that he has lost near a million dollars in salary due to all of the games missed via suspension.
As of now, it is unknown whether Gudas will appeal the suspension or if he will just serve his time.
Either way, many believe Gudas should feel lucky for only being suspended for five games as many were expecting a much harsher punishment.
Once Gudas returns, it will be interesting to see if he's learned his lesson or if he will continue to play on the edge of what is legal.
