He does.....but that also goes with one of the main problem with the D-Squad.

We really need a real experienced top pairing D. It's fun to have prospect but we're throwing them to the wolves with no help and in role they shouldn't have.
Problem with that is what kind of commitment you’d have with that top pairing D since he could be blocking playing time for a hoarde of upcoming D, who may deserve to graduate soon. Also, where do you find a guy like that and what would he cost? Don’t know if it’s viable.

I know Harris is not the sexiest player, but what wrong is he doing to get flamed like he is on this board?
He's just a dman with ~16 minutes of time on ice in average, you'd want him to get more ice time if he was really that effective on his pairing.

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.

Then you’re possibly looking at a former glory, someone 35 years plus as a stopgap/ mentor? And move out one of Matheson/ Savard.

He’s a U-24 3rd round pick that plays NHL shifts

He hits 25 at the end of this contract and imho, that might be his last. Never know, could just stick around like Gorges. That would be useful to the club yes?

That would also mean a lot of failures in development of other Ds
 
This is a game where you want xhekaj in the lineup, panthers are guaranteed gonna be dishing out the cheap shots tonight.

“You” is not MSL. Nor his hierarchical superiors, it would appear.
 
I just want Slaf put points and Habs still L in regular to have a another high pick. You, I and everyone like talents!!

Two great looking draft (2022 and 2023) for Habs so far... we need a another one!!

Let's goooo!
I want Slaf to carry those sorry asses to the playoffs ;)

I think he’s really sound but maybe nothing stands out we can point at in his game and the situation on D is getting trippy so folks talk about it like it’s a competition.
