Confirmed with Link: 6 year extension for Kaiden Guhle (5.5m AAV)

[Redux91]

Nice to have an agent as a GM.

Wonder if something is brewing with the timing of all these contracts.

He is clearly back to work from a little vacation

Now everyone is signed

Time for the trades now

 

[Benstheman]

Not sure i like the term, unless he is still RFA after that contract.

But salary is lower than i expected so i guess it's a solid contract.

 

[CrAzYNiNe]

I wanted 8 yesrsx6m but I’m greedy

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

LFG great contract big fan of Guhle

 

[Tyson]

Yeah this contract will look like a bargain right away.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

I didint even know he was still on his ELC next season.... that's huge

 

[le_sean]

Nice contract. It’s still manageable even if he proves to be brittle.

 

[Redux91]

So 2025-26
Guhle will be at 5.5M
And Matheson final year at 4.875M lol..
Decisions decisions..

 

[Mrb1p]

Lmao what a f***ing steal!!!!! 3 millions less than Sanderson lmao. Looks like keeping him off the PP paid out.

 

[Whitesnake]

Awesome contract...if he stops being injured...

 

[Treal]

Good! Really liked what I saw from him at the World Championships and it seemed like a glimpse into the future of what he'll be able to become once the team gets competitive. Solid work by Hughes.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

If he can stay healthy this will be very nice.

 

[The Great Weal]

That’s the most I would have given him if we didn’t bridge him so no complaints from me.

 

[MonkeyBusiness]

Not sure i like the term, unless he is still RFA after that contract.

But salary is lower than i expected so i guess it's a solid contract.

He'll be a UFA at the end of it. I guess they figure Guhle's going to take a massive step next season, which will be his last on his ELC. I love the gamble and I think this will be a steal.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

That’s the most I would have given him if we didn’t bridge him so no complaints from me.

Seems to be around what he's worth , if he stays what he is its a good deal , if he gets better its a fantastic one

 

[Andy]

Wow. The cap management on Caufield, Suzuki, Guhle, and Slaf is unreal.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Hughes taking care of all his in-house cleaning. Just before August.

Now he has all of August to work on trades.

 

[The Great Weal]

Seems to be around what he's worth , if he stays what he is its a good deal , if he gets better its a fantastic one

Seems like it’s actually 5.55/year and not 5.5 like the title says. Fire Kent

 

[B1g B1rd]

Aren't we rockin'... Best July ever. Yippedidouuuuuu!

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Wow. The cap management on Caufield, Suzuki, Guhle, and Slaf is unreal.

We will even be able to fit a 10 million dollar player in demidov to our core down the stretch

 

[Andy]

Suzuki, Caufield, Guhle, Slaf: almost 29 million of cap.

Anderson, Gallagher, Armia, Dvorak: almost 20 million of cap.

f***ing brutal contracts from MB.

 

[Favster]

The entire young core seems to be buying into the internal cap Hughes and his team are implementing. Management groups consistently talk about team cultures, this is how you implement a culture. Very well done by our management team!

 

[The Great Weal]

Suzuki, Caufield, Guhle, Slaf: almost 29 million of cap.

Anderson, Gallagher, Armia, Dvorak: almost 20 million of cap.

f***ing brutal contracts from MB.

It’s a good thing MB didn’t sacrifice the future to try and keep his job.

 

[donghabs98]

Suzuki, Caufield, Guhle, Slaf: almost 29 million of cap.

Anderson, Gallagher, Armia, Dvorak: almost 20 million of cap.

f***ing brutal contracts from MB.

I'm excited to see what Kent will do when we finally clear ourselves of the cap deadweight from the Bergevin era. I have much more faith in Hughes in free agency than Bergevin.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

young players are signing long term deals here. Regardless of how you feel about the AAV. I feel like we are in the twilight zone.

This deal however. Is great for the Canadiens without any question

It's a great deal for the Habs and when did our young players not sign long term deals here?
