Prospect Info: Kaiden Guhle II

[malcb33]

Struble
Harris

And Juulsen, Brook, Fleury on the Right side. It’s weird going from a strength to a weakness in the long term. Counting chickens I know...

Someone was practising as a first pairing LD on Team Canada. Doesn’t mean he’ll stay there but it’s nice to see:

That's just a ridiculous description of Canada's line-up. If someone posted Chirarot-Weber as the Habs 3rd pairing, it wouldn't make it true. The n.1 pairing is obviously Byram-Drysdale, there's no dispute arguments to be made about it.

Playing against top lines, Guhle-Barron should still have a solid 20 minutes a game. I can't wait to watch how Guhle handles high-pressure situations. Being in the spot he is at 18, is not a small task.

It just needs to be taken for what it is. Hence, my comment. It’s just fun to see Guhle there, that’s all. No need to read too much into it.

If he can be a Colton Parayko type of player, we gonna have a pretty solid defense in few years!!

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Can play in the ahl if whl gets cancelled

Interested to see him tonight. My expectations are a bit low as an 18 year old. Interested to see what he does with the puck on his stick. I'm hoping that's a part of his game that can be refined. I do think there's skill there and potential. And if it doesn't, I feel pretty confident he can still be a solid defensive D man with that size and skating.

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

I want to see him rush the puck a bit, doesn’t do it often, but when he has it’s been impressive.

He's flashed some hands a few times I've seen. I don't think real offense is out of the question for him but it's far from a certainty. Good wrister too. Not too sure we'll see much offense from him in this tournament though. Hoping to see smart, effective puck moving.

 

[WeThreeKings]

He needs to show me that he's improved his ability to contribute to offense outside of a first pass (which is spotty) and his shot. Romanov showed us in two WJCs that he had the ability to do more.

Personally I have more faith in Guhle offensive game then Romanov offensive game

You probably shouldnt imo.

Pretty paltry first period for Guhle. Not that it means anything.

 

[Roadhouse]

For those who can't watch, I took some notes on his shifts over a beer... probably not doing it for the rest of the game. Less fun than I thought.

1- (PK) Took his man as well as himself for a second at the blueline via hit, then got back and delivered the zone clear. Was called "Perfetti" (#11) by TSN.
2- Nothing shift, Russians were denied entry then tried again and went offside.
3- His 1st pass led to a broken transition play, but then on the counter-attack by the Russians he neutralized his man in the slot very effectively.
4- (PK) 10 second shift, was patrolling the front of the net.
5- (4-on-4) Boxed his man out when that guy received a pass, Guhle plastered him on the board a bit and made the outlet pass.
6- (4-on-4) Followed the puck carrier trying to push him to the perimeter, puck carrier's pass was intercepted.
7- OZS. Got the puck, passed it to Perfetti then play was broken.
8- OZS. Canada loses the puck then after a brief turnover, Guhle has his outlet pass intercepted. He comes back to the front of the net and ties a player cutting into the slot just before the puck gets there.
9- Short 10 second shift at the end, took the FO on the right side and came back to the front of the net (his office).

Harris, Norlinder, Romanov, and Mete can all play the right side.

But I think it would be good to start drafting RD's in the 2021 draft to prepare replacements for Weber and Petry.

 

[HOPE]

While i realy liked Guhle pre-draft and was okay with drafting even if i personally would have drafted a winger. We see Guhle needs some seasoning in junior. Good news, we have alot of depth and he will be able to play 2 more years in junior and probably a full year in the AHL without any pressure.

[Prairie Habs]

I wonder what happens if this season is canceled then next season proceeds as normal. Would be strange if a guy like Guhle plays a year in the AHL then has to go down to the WHL for a year. They would hopefully make an exception for guys in that situation.

Edit: obviously quoted wrong post. Too lazy to fix it, so I'll live with my shame.
