Player Discussion Kaiden Guhle

[Andrei79]

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.

I don't see how this has anything to do with body type anymore than Heineman being run over had with his.

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!

It depends how deep the laceration is, which we don't know yet. It can as severe as missing a whole year and having permanent issues.

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

It'd be a major blow to any team don't get me wrong, but there's not many teams with a worst 2C situation than us.

Just taking a look around the Atlantic, Toronto would have Tavares, Tampa would have Cirelli, Florida would have Bennett or Lundell, Boston would have Lindholm, Ottawa would have Norris, Buffalo would have Cozens. I'd personally take any of those guys to fill in at 1C over Dach for an extended period. The only other Atlantic team that I think would struggle as much as us losing their 1C would be Detroit.

cant say that. you will get challenged

I don't see how this has anything to do with body type anymore than Heineman being run over had with his.

Because he's injury prone. He's had multiple injuries in his short NHL career and now multiple knee injuries. This isn't a one off freak incident and with that many injuries so early in his career, there's little doubt it will have an effect on his long term career. Just the way it is for some players. 10 injuries in 3 years is excessive.

interesting to see what posters say on this?
move him or keep him

I say keep him but the glass term goes for every player if someone quotes it

This is a one off freaking injury. Has nothing to do with injury proneness. This individual injury was a fluke injury and not related to anything else.

 

[austin316]

Sucks for Guhle, just terrible news. I’m incredibly concerned about his health moving forward, if he can even return to playing at the level required. A quad tear is very severe, he could be out for a full year.

 

[Guy Larose]

56 missed NHL games

His 10th NHL career injury

Plus an injury in the tournament he played in this summer if I remember correctly.

Whether it's bad luck or not, I fear Guhle is our Klefbom.

 

[Forum93]

He's done for the season. Bright side we don't have to get stressed about the playoffs, hopefully we drop further down and pick up some good pieces in the draft.

I texted my orthopedic surgeon friend the tweet and asked best guess how long he'd be out for. He was hesitant to give a firm timeline but guessed 12 weeks, but also said there's a lot of variables that could extend that. He said based on the fact they didn't name a tendon injury he was more optimistic of a quicker return. Take of it what you will!

 

[Team_Spirit]

It's a freak injury he cut himself with his own skate ffs you guys

Maybe he should stop playing hard and take hits to make plays? No.

Even just 4 weeks would kill our season.

Some people are lucky, some are not. Somewhere in the latter lies the constantly injured hockey player.

Tank is on!

He will not be easy to move and also receive value back at the same. His salary hit of $5.5 million over the next six years is a little high for a young injury prone player.

 

[Redux91]

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.

What part of 'sliced quadriceps muscle' do you not get exactly? Lol

 

[waffledave]

We don't have any info on the severity of the injury. There's a difference between "suffered a calf laceration" and "severed his achilles tendon."

[ahmedou]

Maybe not....another injury

 

[Habs]

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 today’s NHL) where it seems injuries hit all teams. Injury "prone" players will need to settle for more reasonable contracts as their reliability will always be in question.

Guhle is proving to be a tin man which is sad.

He’s a pansie confirmed !

 

[Erika]

Hope they fix the ignore function soon.

So an injury prone player got injured once again... what's so surprising ? Saw that coming by a mile.

At this point, it's like expecting Marian Gaborik to play more than 60 games a year or Peter Forsberg playing more than 40 a year...

If KH/JG has a good offer, he should pull the trigger. I love Guhle, but he's not him unfortunately.

 

[Nicko999]

I like Ghule but i don't understand how people can deny he is injury prone. Sure you'll say it's a freak accident but why did it happen to him specifically and not to Suzuki for example? And then he gets injured by cutting HIMSELF.

Also no one is saying to shop him. But if the right offers come, Hughes should absolutely pull the trigger. Each injury decreases his value.

That has nothing to do with fragility, it’s a freak accident, I call BS
