Why do I feel like, with most of these things, if Guhle were a Rangers' prospect/young player and Kakko/Othmann were with Montreal, that we'd be seeing trades suggestions of Guhle for Kakko/Othmann because Guhle "gets caved in/is meh" and Kakko/Othmann "still have potential" and RW is a need for the Rangers...
I don’t know, it’s a tough call. Guhle is playing 20+ min a night against other teams best, but the Habs are a 1 line bottom feeder team dressing a lot of youth.
To me, he’s got the goods. Another big kid that can skate. He’s definitely going to get better as he gets older, just don’t know where he’ll top out in terms of potential. Similar to Kakko in that regard.
Guhle just has more of an opportunity for more min and all situations there because they aren’t a deep/playoff roster.
Kakko is kind of situationally locked in.
Guhle is exactly the type of player I want to pair with Fox….
Adding another big man with Schneider and miller that can skate and play would be ideal…
Big defenseman always cost a ton to acquire, especially come playoff time.
The small add is to compensate Defense ( especially big talented ones) are historically more expensive/valuable then wingers( even big talented ones like Kakko)
When each guy was drafted is pretty much out the window at this point. They are both established young players with room to grow for hitting their full potential.
