I think if he can be top 4, you keep him.
Top 4 means top minutes so no sheltering.We are going to know this after a few pre-seasons games and a cup of coffee in the NHL? Guys, calm down...
Jabronis….. love it hahahaWe're gonna rush him and all of you jabronis will blame Bergevin in 3 years.
Let him play his last year in the dub aswell as one year in the Ahl, after that he should be ready. Hopefully management has learned not to rush prospects after seeing how KK and Mete are looking like they are gonna settle as players far below what they had potential to be.
Maybe someone should start a poll?Every player is different. Quite a few recent examples of 19 year old defensemen in this league. It is a case by case decision.

If he is one of the top 5 D on the team, there is no need to send him back. However, if he needs to be sheltered, then rushing him is questionable.I wouldn't mind Guhle going back for one more year just to work out any potential kinks he may have from missing most of last season (even though he definitely looks ready, there's no need to rush him)
NurseWhat the comparison Nicolas Cloutier and Anthony Martineau give to Kaiden Guhle? I don't watch.

Send him back to juniors. He barely played any hockey last year because of COVID and his injury. Let his confidence grow and allow him to become dominant in the WHL.
I'm really excited for next season to be honest. We'd have potentially Guhle, Norlinder, Harris and Struble all fighting for spots on defence. All between 20-22 years old and better suited (physically and mentally) to compete for a spot on the roster.
