Player Discussion Kaiden Guhle

[The Great Weal]

Loving his game right now, especially given how he didn't have a proper preseason. He's doing a lot more offensively too which was my main criticism of him last year. He doesn't need PP time to show that he can be useful offensively.

Habs best player so far

It's funny how after crapping the bed for over a decade (for the most part) with questionable picks, Timmins (Bergevin) ended up having 3 very solid 1st round picks in a row right before they were canned...

2019- Caufield (15)
2020- Guhle (16)
2021- Mailloux (31)

Anyways, at this point I'm questioning whether Guhle's upside is actually higher than Sanderson's

It highlights that the problem wasn't really drafting but development. Those guys pretty much turned pro under in the Hughes era. And it's after they turned pro that things usually fell off the rails for our prospects under Bergevin, they tended to be highly regarded as junior aged players, have fairly good rookie years and then just never progress or even start to regress as pros. Which isn't really surprising given the coaches Bergevin hired, the lack of development coaches, and the attitude of it's all on the player to take care of their own development.

Habs best player so far

He's much better than he has been the last two years imo. He's just 22 he'll keep improving his overall game. Way too many of our fans act like if our 22 years old player are finished product. Some of them wont improve it happens but it must not be taken for granted that all wont improve. Like Haineman is not a finished product yet, How much will he improve only time will tell but he'll get stronger and become more confortable on the ice.

Great start to the season for Guhle. He's our only + player right now at +6. Next guy is Hutson at -1. Savard with his heavy defensive usage is -5 but that's goes with the challenges we have him playing.

On top of everything you guys have already said, he is a really confident player but doesn't get cocky at all and always in control. Big big big leadership guy.

While i don't think he will ever be a 60 pts guy because he will lack PP time, he will be pretty good producer 5 vs 5 only based on his mobility and quality shot.

Frankly, he has everything a player needs to be an elite type and simply has no weakness. I always loved and praised him and i think he will probably be our most important player in our cup runs.

He's not significantly "better" than last year, he's just putting up more points and all you guys see is the DB page. He's been the Habs best player with Suzuki since last year.

You guys just need someone to point at things and tell you it's blue for it to turn blue.

What a player he's already become and this is only year 3 with 118 games played .... Physical, good speed, good anticipation, fearless, and sees the ice really well when we have the puck too. It feels like he's been able to handle everything MSL has given him and explains why he always talks about him so positively. In 3-4 years if he continues to get better he'll be one of the top shutdown dmen in the league.

Loved him reacting to the Puljujarvi hit.

 

[TT1]

craziest thing is he still has a lot of untapped upside to his d-game, he's gonna keep improving

 

[Tyson]

Habs best D all around.

totally agree with you! Last year i was hoping he had pp2 time, his one timer is insane! i was pissed that xhekaj was getting it over him. Guhle just needs a touch more confidence to skate with the puck as he often makes quick passes to forwards that are covered, its his only weakness IMO

Guhle is the best passer on d. Lots of times he’s the only one that can complete a pass out of his zone. Future team Canada Olympian for sure.

Well I'd say that is Hutson but Guhle being even close to him tells us how good Kaiden is.
