First, let's get one thing straight. Radko Gudas's mother is a hamster. He injures Jonas Rondbjerg of the Vegas Golden Knights AND Auston Matthews of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Those injuries should be enough to have him suffer the same fate as Marie Antoinette.
But there is some good news on the horizon. Danny Webster of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported that the Danish forward is back to skating on the ice again. Certainly, that should benefit the Golden Knights depth-wise, right?

Well, here's the thing, dear reader. The Henderson Silver Knights are in the midst of a playoff chase, sitting in sixth place in the Pacific Division with 66 points. While that seems devilish, remember that those same Silver Knights are 7-1-0-2 in their last 10 games entering Monday.
The latest addition of Rondbjerg adds to their profile, giving them more offense. This season, the 26-year-old has 12 goals and 11 assists with Henderson, adding more bite to the club. That was in 36 games, where the Assistant Captain thrived. In fact, he even has an assist at the NHL level for the Golden Knights! How great is that?
Jonas Rondbjerg's role might be limited, yet he still has an impact on both the Golden Knights and the Silver Knights
You're looking at this and wondering why this matters for the Vegas Golden Knights. Sure, the Silver Knights can benefit from having another key leader in their lineup. That's especially true when you're ascending up the Calder Cup playoff rankings, hunting for a spot.
Well, think about this. This season has seen nothing but injuries for the Golden Knights. The team has seen Mark Stone, William Karlsson, and Brett Howden drop like flies. It's been a troubling trend for a team looking for another Stanley Cup.
What better way to combat this than to have another depth piece return? Sure, he'll be lucky to put up a point in an NHL game. However, that doesn't mean that he doesn't have any purpose.
Rondbjerg is an excellent penalty-killer, helping the unit with sound exits and range. He's also an intelligent hockey player, making the most logical moves whenever possible. While his game's more suited for a slower league like the AHL, he's still shown that he can thrive in key spots for the Golden Knights.
Sometimes, the smallest moves tend to make the biggest impact. If this doesn't help the Golden Knights in any capacity, it'll certainly help the Silver Knights pursue a Calder Cup. That could mean plenty for an AHL club looking to get back into the winning side of things.
