Gudas will serve as the team’s ninth captain in franchise history, and is the team’s first captain in two years, following Ryan Getzlaf’s retirement. While Gudas may not be a long-term part of the team’s core based on his age, he’ll be a key piece as the team tries to take some steps in the coming years, and is one of the team’s more effective veterans.
