In a world that Nurse wins 9.5m a year . We can easily live with Guhle at 5.5m
How fast everyone forgot the team friendly 2nd contracts signed by Price, Pacioretty, Gallagher… #noplayerleverageMy gawd! What’s going on here? Did all these players magically forget that Montréal is the highest taxed city in the league?
KH negociated both dealIn a world that Nurse wins 9.5m a year . We can easily live with Guhle at 5.5m
They have zero cap issues next year. They are out of cap hell even with Gally and Anderson’s contracts still on the books.

Yup. Going into 25-26 season and rounding for easier math:I think they figure out a way to swap Anderson for some overpaid vet D next year and Gallagher they'll try to pull a Ryan Callahan to go LTIR for the last year or two. Fortunately cap won't really be an issue next summer either so there's time to figure it out.
Hutson is a tough one to read. He has a high ceiling but he comes with major volatility too. I look forward to seeing it all unfold.
Guhle is better than Nurse I think.In a world that Nurse wins 9.5m a year . We can easily live with Guhle at 5.5m
YesI think he sees guys coming but goes all Josh Gorges. Makes the play but thinks he’s made of rubber. Not strong enough to reverse hit nhlers yet either. I agree playing rhd has to be part of it for sure.
He does seem to be a father figure to these kids being both a hockey dad and agent on top.
edit wait is that a Gallagher / Berg reference?
EasilyGuhle is better than Nurse I think.
Oh crap, now I have to hate Ghule now?Rumor has it that when Hughes was discussing the Guhle signing he was emotional and in tears
That’s got to be one of the worst contracts out there, rivals Huberdeau’s 10.5 for 8.In a world that Nurse wins 9.5m a year . We can easily live with Guhle at 5.5m
There's little reason to doubt that Hughes can't attract some good UFA when the time is right.How fast everyone forgot the team friendly 2nd contracts signed by Price, Pacioretty, Gallagher… #noplayerleverage
Pull off magic with UFA contracts, then I’ll be impressed
Makes Matheson’s sub $5M contract look better and better.In a world that Nurse wins 9.5m a year . We can easily live with Guhle at 5.5m
Problem is we had a GM that had these nice contracts and a 3rd overall pick and couldn’t manage to build anything remotely resembling a contender. Heck forget contender, he couldn’t even build a team that was simply fun to watch. Even the 2023-24 Canadiens provided more on-ice excitement than those Bergevin teams.How fast everyone forgot the team friendly 2nd contracts signed by Price, Pacioretty, Gallagher… #noplayerleverage

Any other Maiden fans remember this opening line?Excellent reply ! Keep on being contrarian when the unanimous narrive is going one way. We need more pple like you on this site and in society.
You're not a number, you're a free man !
I like the deal, but Guhle is very valuable, above and beyond his numbers. But it remains to be seen if he can stay healthy and what kind of dman he will be. He's tall, but not that heavy.Pretty much exactly what I expected. I’m not sure what posters were expecting Guhle to be paid, 6-7m per year? That would’ve been an overpayment imo. I like this deal.
I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. MB was trying to break a record for the most grinders on a team to win a cup - or at least make the playoffs and see what happens. I think that was his idea of exciting to watch. It drove me bananas.Problem is we had a GM that had these nice contracts and a 3rd overall pick and couldn’t manage to build anything remotely resembling a contender.

There's only one Crosby. FUYou should see how many concussions Sidney Crosby has

Valuable above and beyond his numbers eh? Sounds like wishful thinking. People talk about him as if he’s already become what they would like him to become. He’s not there yet, hence the 6 year deal at 5.5.I like the deal, but Guhle is very valuable, above and beyond his numbers.

Yup. Going into 25-26 season and rounding for easier math:
Suz-CC-Slaf =24M
Dach-Newhook-Demidov = 7M
Roy-X-X= 1M**
Beck-Gally-Andy = 13M
13F 14F =2M Total forward = 46M
(** two open spots to be filled by trade/UFA)
Math-Guhle = 10M
Hutson-Rein = 2M
AX-Barron = 3M
Struble = 1M Total D = 16M
Monty-Primo = 4M
That's 66M, cap will probably be 90M, so there's 24M to get two top 9 F, maybe a vet D and that's even with Gallagher and Anderson soaking up 12M. Now if Hughes can make both of those albatrosses disappear, that is a monster amount of cap room. But the team can manage easily even if those two are still around.
I see Guhle becoming our version of Esa Lindell...just a solid, all-around dependable Dman, but not a top pairing guy.Valuable above and beyond his numbers eh? Sounds like wishful thinking. People talk about as if he’s already become what they would like him to become. He’s not there yet, hence the 6 year deal at 5.6.
Still a very good asset imo, but more of a 2nd pairing guy than a #1. He doesn’t have the upside of a number 1 either imo.
Well if Guhle was looking for $8M AAV on 7- 8 years then $5.5M on 6 is great. Mind you Guhle should not be getting $8M , even projecting out based on current play. If they didn't agree to the $5.5 I would have done a bridge. Hughes did did good and Guhle got a fair deal.
Water is wet.Guhle is better than Nurse I think.
