Yeah and i don't understand how people forget he just ended his 21-22 years old season. Played on his off side and asked to be the defensive stabilisator on his D pair. I think he did pretty well. On top of that, he still could develop for a good 2-3 years.It depends on what you are not sold on. If its the belief that he is a number #1 defenceman who can play in all game situations including driving the power play and will be a perennial Norris Trophy candidate, then I share your scepticism. But I think his package of skills, defensive acumen and skating ability makes him a top 2 defenceman on any contender.
Above all, I appreciate the leadership qualities that he offers to the team. Guhle is a future captain.
Personally, i see him as a no.2 Dman who will play hard minutes 5 vs 5 and on the PK and will still be good for 40 pts per season without any significant time on the PP. He needs to play on his natural side though. Captain material and won't disappear in the playoffs.
