Why would we trade our best young Dmen ? Where at position or strength for #4-5 LD not for 1st pair LD, he’s the only one with that celling
I think it's premature to trade Guhle. But if you draft Dickinson because you think he's a true number 1, with offense and defense, then that allows you to go Dickenson-Hutson- Xhekaj on the left side long term. Once you establish this is a great left side as part of a great dcore, it would allow you to move Guhle and Matheson for good forward pieces. But it's premature to say Dickinson- Hutson- Xhekaj is the long term answer on the left side.
 
Guhle is not expendable. So far, he's the most proven and best nhler dmam out of the young batch.

If you think guhle is expendable, I'm afraid you are counting your chickens before they hatch. Yes there are alot of interesting dmen in the pipeline, but some of them won't make it, and even the ones that do, there's no guarantee they will be better than guhle (although we hope for the best).

When you build up picks, you are hoping that you will get a guhle caliber or even better.... why trade away what you hoped for anyways?

If the defensive pipeline is as good as we hope, then yes, we can dangle a good asset, but the time to make that determination isn't quite there.

Deferred winning. This forumn is full of posters who would manage to have this team in a forever rebuild, afraid of winning. I don’t know if Guhle can be a number 1, I don’t think he can, but he can likely anchor the 2nd pairing or play complimentary to a number 1 on the top pair.

Trade him for an 18 year old with no NHL games haha. Ppl will never learn. He is definitely part of the core going forward.
 
A top 4 of Hutson, maillioux, Reinbacher, Guhle has the potential to be pretty damn strong imo. Some question marks there, but I think they all are going to be top 4 dmen. Debatable who has the most upside.

It's a great young nucleus, plus Xhekaj and Matheson.

But if there's a player we project to he an elite number 1 dman available at 5th overall, and only ok second line wingers, I draft the dman even if he's an LD. I don't trade down just to get a second rounder.

Come on guys, trading Kaiden Guhle will be a huge mistake. This guy is going to be a huge leader. He is a top pairing D, his offensive potential is pretty pretty good.

I think Demidiv, Lindstrom, Iginla project to be better than just ok wingers….we are 99.999% not drafting a LHD.

Habs see Guhle as their #1,Reinbacher as a 2 and I’d guess Hutson as their 3.

It’s a forward or Levshunov at 5 this I’m convinced
 
If we can get core young forward might move him. Allows us to draft Dickinson
Why not keep Guhle and get a young core forward at #5? You know, one tha tmight actually be ready before 2035.
People that think this so called "rebuild" is over is out to lunch....we started our rebuild in 2021 its been 3 years.....
The rebuild started in 2021 but 95% of the core players are 2020 or prior picks ? The rebuild started when they traded Pacioretty, it doesn't matter if HuGo weren't there, thats when we stopped moving out quality pieces and started accumulating. Suzuki, Caufield, Guhle, Roy, Mailloux and Dach (Romanov) are all assets accumulated prior to 2021. The rebuild needs to be done now, we need to enter win mode WITH THE PLAYERS WE CURRENTLY HAVE. It doesn't mean we have to make the playoffs, but the winning culture needs to start getting instaured. We need to see a winning curve like Edmonton and Carolina have had.

If you htink Dickinson is a 1D then you draft him and you trade players later. I think Guhle can be a 1D myself.
 
Kaiden Guhle hasn't played a full season since 2019-2020. That's taking into account shortened seasons because of COVID.

He's injured more often than Benoit Brunet was FFS. If someone offers a good top 6 player, you take it and run.

I like the player and he has great potential, but he'll be useless on the LTIR.

Good thing for the Sens they didn't think this way about alfredsson early in his career...

I don’t think that will be our options. I also think team building is often ignored when it comes to drafting by fans. The reality is those surplus of dmen are nice assets to have, but they are unlikely to improve our forward situation in a trade imo.

We need to draft our own, there will be a solid forward available at 5. I’m pretty confident in that. Lindstrom makes me nervous, but if they think he’s good to go, I’ll accept that.

He missed games 9 games this year because he got hit by an extremely dirty player. Ridiculous to hold that against him.

Slaf, Cole, Roy, Newhook haven't been healthy in years, should we also trade them? What a ridiculous post.
