Gorton said in the twitch townhall that maybe Guhle will make the big club out of camp.

It sounded to me like the press conference when he was hired and said maybe I'll hire an agent as GM...

I definitely wouldn't be surprised if Gorton has him penciled in.

He could probably step in and be OK. He might be better after a year in the AHL, though.
 
Jayden Struble's relationship with Montreal Canadiens GM Kent Hughes should remove any fears of him going back to the NCAA for his last year.

Montreal Hockey Now sat down with Northeastern University management to discuss Struble's potential role next year and his ties to Hughes.

Canadiens’ Jayden Struble Returning To NCAA Not A Bad Idea

Montreal Canadiens Jayden Struble has a big decision on his hands regarding where he will play next year, be it with the Northeastern Huskies of the NCAA or the Laval Rocket of the AHL. The Montreal Canadiens 2nd round pick in 2019 (46th overall) just finished his junior season with Northeastern...

I wouldn't be upset if we had

Guhle - Barron
Struble - Harris

as two of our d pairings in Laval next year.

I'd give Struble a chance to be the #1D for Northeastern and go with:

Guhle - Barron
Xhekaj - Harris

I doubt any rookie will be penciled in, but he'll be given every chance possible to make the team. He's looked great since he was drafted, so it makes sense to think he'll fit in well at camp.

Don’t forget Norlinder, Fairbrother and Brook. That’s 7 young dmen, I don’t know how they give them all playing time unless they let Ouellet, Belpedio, Bisson, Dello all go…

Feel like Norlinder should be left in SHL, he's not really even a top guy there yet and from what I've read he doesn't want to play in AHL.

With all the prospects, feel like there will be less AHL vets signed. I'd keep one of Belpedio/Ouellet/Brook and let rest go.

I hope they have 7 NHL dmen at camp in case all the rookies aren't ready.

Will be interesting to see who they bring in, if they re-sign Wideman, amd if Petry find a taker. Right now our veteran depth chart is pretty thin:

Eddy Petry
Romanov Savard
Schuneman Wideman
Clague

He's signed and he will be coming over. Gorton confirmed as much.

Norlinder was on the top pairing before he came over, as per his coach although the Folin Edvinsson pairing was getting more time in preseason. Then he came over to camp, gets hurt, goes back months later and now he's lost his spot and is on the bottom pairing mostly used as the 5th D.

I doubt they'd go into camp without replacing a few guys on defense, even if they're just 1-2 year contracts. This will be a very interesting off-season, that's for sure.

Let him play big minutes in NCAA next year and be a key part of the team.

Between Guhle, Barron, Norlinder, Harris, Xhekaj, Fairbrother and Brook, there won't be a ton of spots in the NHL/AHL as we'll still want some veterans in both leagues to insulate the young guys.
 
Brunet mentioned in his article that if Struble turns pro, he will sign a PTO with Laval to finish the year there and sign his ELC that kicks in next year.

But Struble hasn't made up his mind yet.

Let him go back. Frankly, he's not ready. I want him to be more assertive offensively. And there's even bigger chances that he signs with us due to his relation with Hughes. But even if he doesn't...I just don't believe it would be that big of a deal.....obviously depending of how he plays in the upcoming year.

We have no room for him. He needs the development. To me, it's the easiest decision ever.

Him and his agent see Harris, Guhle and possibly Barron as potential rookies next season; meaning he would have to go to Laval for sure. Aussi ben compléter son diplôme universitaire. @montreal saw him play a lot - is he really as ready as Harris?
