I think Guhle is going to be north of 6M on a long term deal. Somewhere in the range of 6.25-7.5M.
I don’t see the hurry. We’ve got another year right?I'd be shocked if it gets that high.
The obvious comp is Alex Vlasic's 4.6 x 6. Guhle's shown more offense, but if you're signing him now, then then it should be around 5 mil x 6. At 6.25-7.5M AAV, he needs to earn it with his play this season.

One thing though, if his contract’s on the line his agent may push for more PP time, being used in the left side or at least factor it into negotiations if none of that changes.
It’ll be interesting to see how the PP shakes out with Burrows leaving. Will the new guy use two blueliners or one? Hutson will eat into that time if he’s with us as well.If its a deal that makes sense for Montreal in terms of it potentially being a steal down the line, then you do it. Otherwise, you wait.
He may (should) get at least some PP2 time, but he's going to have to earn the time.

Assuming things stay as they are, his camp would argue pretty strongly that his numbers would be higher if he were being used properly. He’s not a RD but we keep using him there.
Anyways, we’ve got a year before we have to worry about this.
We do,I don’t see the hurry. We’ve got another year right?
They aren't necessarily signing him this summer, Hughes even said that they could push it to next summer depending on negotiations.We do,
And they are signing him to an extension THIS summer still anyway
It's how pro sports usually does things, extensions mostly get done even WITH 1 year left on original deals
Not hard to see why too
Management like to jump early on these things if they can help it and if they really like the player
But people thinking he's getting 6-7M is just... WOW right now lol
Well at this moment he's not even worth 5m a season , so yeah he should def waitGuhle probably wants to bet on himself having a big year this season than sign long term at 5.5/6
you can't count on cap rising, it's pure speculation. there could be a recession and that projection goes out of window.Xhekaj won't sign for $2M for 6 years. So your preferred narrative is flawed. How do you think that is a possibility? Come on man, you are better than that.
This is about new top 4D rates with a $92M salary cap (25/26). You're living in 2017 with a $75M cap.
Guhle is proven and is a top 4D today right now. He's been used obsessively on the D side and took on that role because he is a team player. However, he's got more to provide on the offensive side. Not like Matheson or Hutson level but more than what you think. He is our most well rounded guy on D.
