Kind of funny seeing Mrb1p over-praising Guhle after being so down on him when we drafted him. Was never going to be as good as his wonderboy Josh Brook...

Aside from that, Guhle is a good young player who is developing very nicely. Hoping that him and Slafkovsky play a full season this year. Injuries and impatience are the only things that could really derail things with these talented young guys.

Its ok to be wrong, its not okay to stay wrong.

I think its simply a funny exercice and for the greater benefit of our team when we are down on a player and he ends up serving us the crow

We give him the Sanderson deal?

Do the Caufield-Suzuki rule (capped contract at Suzuki aav for player out of their elc) apply for Guhle even if he is a D?

See the funny thing is a lot of those attributes can be applied to Reinbacher as well. I think both will be Dmen of a similar style once they are done developing. Which is excellent for us.

Assuming Reinbacher reaches his upside, they have the potential to constitute the core of a contender D squad, especially with the depth of Hutson, Barron, Xhekaj and plenty of others.

Along with New Jersey, Buffalo, Colorado, i think we have a potential top 5 d corps league wide coming with Guhle, Reinbacher and Hutson.

idk man saying McCarron was showing any sign of progression at any point is the real revisionism
Oh he definitely did. Rough D+1 until the end when he got switched to C.

Scored plenty goals in his D+2 while with London. Production went down when he got traded but seemed to do well as a defensive C and won the memorial cup (I think?).

AHL rookie season I think he had multiple hat tricks. People were calling him a stud.
Then Sly had to make it public that Mccarron wouldn’t be a scorer in the NHL for whatever reason and then he stagnated quite soon after it.

He was trending quite well as far as his D+3 season so I’d say that’s any point
 
Interestingly enough the Habs drafting and development stopped sucking horrendously the moment Therrien and Lefebvre were both exiled.

Tough to know the cause.

It didn’t help. But the Tinordi, Beaûieu, Mccarron, Scherbak etc were not on caufield, Guhle’s level in term of everything

They weren't although Scherbak looked worse every year we had him, so I do think they just didn't have the right number of staff members in place or the right developmental thinking to bring him alone. I wonder how things might be different if he was selected during the Hugo regime. We'll never know.

I think the indictment on the Tinordi and McCarron picks in terms of development is that they weren't even able to get the bare minimum out of those guys. When you are sacrificing offense in everything you're doing as far as development, you better teach guys to be able to forecheck, hit and play defense and they couldn't even do that.

We won't see everyone pan out in any regime but it does show just how bad Lefebvre was, he was King Midas except he could make a turd out of anything he touched.
 
hopefully not i just bought a jersey 2 weeks ago

It's ok Gallagher 73 is a collector's item

38 points in 58 AHL games in his D+3 is trending as a bottom of the line-up forward/AHLer.

~5/6 top six forward are NHL regulars in their D+3.
 
f*** it Kaiden Guhle highlights. (Mix of amazing play and getting hurt)
Hard play to watch. Particularly after the most unfortunate incident in England. As in minor hockey, I suspect it will be mandatory for NHL players to wear neck guards for no other reason than liability purposes.

20-40 picks that end up top 6 players playing elsewhere than as NHL regulars happens all the time. It's a significant percentage.

In any case, the post you're replying to didn't say he was going to be a top 6 forward, he was highlighting his progress. His first AHL year was very good. 17 goals in 50 some games at 6'6" is an intriguing prospect.

First half of that AHL rookie season or thereabouts I don’t think he was too far off a ppg at some point. Then again, Sly made his remark and his production nose dived

Even then I wasn’t arguing him to be a top 6. Just whether he was trending well

Very true..............now if he can pass like Markov, we will be set.
The kid is the real deal.

Love Guhle but keep dreaming.

Playmakers like Markov don't grow on trees.

I'm not sure any defenseman in Montreal history, with the exception of Doug Harvey, was as good a playmaker as Markov was. There are some contenders but he's in the mix for 2nd best.

Guy maybe. Subban. Robinson maaaaybe. Id give Marky the edge.

38 in 58 isn't actually terrible for an AHL rookie, Pacioretty for example wasn't an NHL regular and had 11 points in 18 games in the AHL in his D+3 season.

Not too mention McCarron had 13 goals and 11 assists in the first 28 AHL games then got called up, sent down, and told he wasn't going to be an offensive player in the NHL. So he was very much trending well in his D+3 season until they started to screw with him.
