Player Discussion Kaiden Guhle

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

We know he's out indefinitely.

That pretty much says 2-3 months atleast

 

[nyhabsfan]

Mad at the fact that he’s always injured. Would we be able to count on him for a 80 ish games? For a full playoffs run? I’m having more doubts than ever.

Unbelievable, talk about screwed if you do play hard and screwed if you don't.
No wonder players would rather play in a market with little taxes. nice weather and a SANE FAN BASE.
I'm sure Ghule is devastated about disappointed fans like you.

Yeah, if it was a week, they would have said 7-10 days or day-to-day, or week-to-week.

Indefinitely means they can't come up with an actual time-line.

 

[ahmedou]

56 missed NHL games

His 10th NHL career injury

 

[Tyson]

Perhaps. But he's the best option we have right now. And I also think that too many have over estimated , unrealistically so, Struble's projected level of play/contribution.

He had a great start last season but I believe his true upside may be showing. He has a great chance with Guhle out for an undetermined amount of time.

 

[Canadienna]

I've talked before about Guhle being injury prone but I don't think this is a case where that's relevant.

Slicing your own quadricep with your skate blade seems like the definition of freak accident.

Plenty of players fall like he did and avoid serious injury, so it's not like we can really criticize him for falling.

Just really bad luck and I feel for the kid.

 

[Paddyjack]

That is where he got cut IMO, right above the knee.

 

[Habs]

Welp there goes our season can’t replace a blue liner like guhle this year

see ya in the fall

Landeskog is out because the cartilage in his knee is gone. I mean this sounds like it was serious but he's already out of hospital. A lacerated quad sounds like he was cut by a skate to me, not a muscle tear. If he tore his quad they'd say he tore his quad.

Cammalleri had a lacerated quad due to skate cut way back when. I don't recall how long he was out though. He did come back that year though.

Edit: looked it up, he missed 2 weeks but the cut wasn't too deep. It also happened vs the Jets!

what about Donald Audette or Richard Zednick?

That looks very very close to the tendons… hopefully not a full rupture cause if he needed tendon reattached that could be a 6-9 month recovery period

 

[Hacketts]

It wasn't that bad of a cut then. Guhle required surgery that's a far more serious injury.

I'm not comparing the two.

which is fine - I enjoyed the push for the past 2 months.. showed grittiness and let the kids know they are knocking on the doorstep of playoffs.

This also shows just how important not overpaying players is (especially in todays NHL) where it seems injuries hit all teams. Injury "prone" players will need to settle for more reasonable contracts as they're reliability will always be in question.

not just saying this but
habs were not getting past the 1st round. better off with a better draft pick
get well man

 

[waffledave]

what about Donald Audette or Richard Zednick?

We don't know the specific details of what happened to Guhle but Audette and Zednik both nearly died, I'd say those were probably more serious injuries. Audette got all the tendons in his arm sliced off and Zednik got his freaking throat slashed. Pretty sure Audette played in the playoffs that year though.

Audette was never the same. He was tearing it up tho before that injury from what I remember.

Almost lost his arm. They haven't said anything about Guhle yet so I'm holding out hope it's just a cut and no tendon or ligament damage to the knee or anything like that.

There goes the season

Tank on!

shut the kid down

 

[HabsCode]

That's a terrifying thought for this team, and a big reason why I'm praying for a huge upgrade at 2C this summer.

We're almost at the point where we just assume we're getting 82 games out of Suzuki every season, but if the day comes where he misses significant time then we're going to be beyond f***ed. No offense to Dach/Dvoark, but that'd be one of the weakest 1C/2C combos ever iced if we were force to run that at any point.

I mean most team losing their #1C would be in a very bad position.

 

[Sterling Archer]

His health s a huge concern for me. If he still has value, as much as it would suck, I'd try to trade him in the off season to upgrade on D. I don't think his body is build for a long NHL career.

 

[JackZap]

Unlucky

 

[Andrei79]

I'm waiting for more details, but this sounds like brutal news. This team just has terrible luck.

Hope they fix the ignore function soon.

He's injury prone
