No one really deserve to graduate into a 1st pairing D role for at least another 3 years unless we want them to get destroyed. Takes years even for guys like Hugues, Dahlin or Hedman to get there and obviously, we don't have those right now. And even if one get there, his partner is Matheson or Savard and neither should be top pairing to begin with.
In terms of development, Guhle is a rookie, playing Top 4 minutes, that's already a big jump for him, no AHL, right away Top 4 minutes. Who is he playing with?
I don't care who they pick to play with him, it's all bad.
Harris, Struble, Barron, Lindstrom, Kovacevic.....none of them are top 4 and will be put in a bad situation which is also putting Guhle in a bad position.
We need better vets than Matheson or Savard.
