Prospect Info: David Reinbacher - Laval Rocket edition

We have an abundance of LD. Why would we not consider trading Guhle to get that elusive 2C. Like HabsMD97 said, Guhle should not be untouchable like Hutson or Demidov. Completely agree and I also completely agree that Guhle should not be traded, but to say he is an untouchable is a bit over the board. I would completely change my tune if we had no left D, but as a reminder, we have: Hutson, Matheson, Xhekaj, and Engstrom. You have to be willing to give up quality to get quality.

Guhle could definitely be sacrificed for the right center. But it would have to be a dman good center.
 
Well I apologize if it seems like I'm riled up, what did I say that was out of line?
Miller was literally the #2 defenceman on the presidents cup winning team last year. Guhle over Miller is just pure homerism i'm sorry, one down year doesn't change that.
Is K'Andre Miller available?
 
Guhle being called an untouchable is ridiculous. He has had like what, 1 injury free season in the past 5 years? You can't put him in the same category as Hutson or Demidov. There are plenty of defenceman in the league that not only play the same way as Guhle but are much better. You can trade for them or sign them in free agency. Hutson is irreplaceable, Guhle is not.
It would take quite an offer but I would move Guhle. A young #1 center.
 
He's RFA.
Wonder if Habs will look at RFAs?

Doubt it.. it'd have to be such an established RFA that it's a no brainer to go after them.

Lessons learned from previous teams coming out of a rebuild is never rule out a backslide. We can't be giving up a lottery first in an offer sheet unless the player themself is a lottery pick level player.

You think there are plenty of defenseman as good as Guhle, with Guhle's ceiling, that you can sign in free agency?

Like who?

Name one.

This is an absolutely absurd take.

Curious to know how many 23 year old 6'3 reliable defensemen that can comfortably log over 20 minutes of ice time there are out there that are so easily acquirable.
 
Wouldn't it be great right now if we would have pulled off what the Blues did.

Holloway and Broberg would literally solve our top4 RD and 2C problems

Reinbacher
Broberg
Carrier (although we probably wouldn't have picked him up if we did this)
 
So, I’m not into trading young, promising, potentially top pairing defenceman…....”my reasoning”, you ask?
Rod Langway, Chelios, McDonagh, Sergachev????

I’m liking Reinbacher’s tool set. IMHO, he’s looked good & I’ve watched every pro game he’s played. In fact his progression is noticeable. Cheers.
lol! You’re making me feel old!

Trading the future “secretary of defence” to Washington was certainly a boneheaded move. They all were, to be honest. It’s not like they got much in return, which is the real kicker.

While both player would be great to have on the team, Broberg shoots left and Holloway hasn’t been playing centre, he’s playing on the wing.
