RW Noel Gunler - Luleå HF, SHL (2020, 41st, CAR)

[Phil McKraken]

Wow, great stats... Are Holtz and Gunler the future 1st or 2nd line wingers of Sweden?

Them and Raymond by the looks of it.

 

[theslatcher]

Is the 13th forward vs. Frölunda tonight, Raymond's on the 4th line for Frölunda.

 

[theslatcher]

Only watched the first two periods, but thought he played good for the little time he was given. Won his first board battle, opened himself up to passes, he was primarily utilized in the O-zone, and I remember a pretty sweet tape-to-tape pass along the boards above a defending players' stick that either he or Raymond made, just put up a mental note of it, and I want to say Noel was the one.

 

[Tryamkin]

more hype needed here, this kid is legit, deadly finisher.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

1+1 after 10 min vs Malmö in SHL

 

[DDRhockey]

Holy hell, gunler just leapfrogged raymond and holtz by being the first 2020 drafte to score in shl

Both on the PP, where he should be utilized a lot.

doesn't surprise me. He went #1 overall in my EHM games

 

[FLpanthers16]

More hype deserved for Noel imo. Kid is gonna be a top 10 pick for sure if he keeps this up.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

For someone who has watched him play a lot, what are his strengths and weaknesses? I only saw him play a couple of times at the WHC-17, and he looked pretty pedestrian there.

Well, he himself says what he needs to improve on the most is his play without the puck and that he's working on just that, which from what I've seen is correct. Also in SuperElit he took a lot of unnecessary penalties(not to the likes of Grewe though), 0 penalties so far in the SHL, so that's good.

 

[ManUtdTobbe]

Strength: His shot, it's deadly.

Got a secondary assist on a goal that brought the game to overtime tonight. Now at 1-2 in 3gp in the SHL.

 

[dragovici]

I'm thinking this guy might be better than both Holtz & Raymond

thinking the same

Plenty of time left to find out if he is, need to see Holtz & Raymond in a similar position(PP time & lots of ozone time) in the SHL before I'm making a judgment. I'd also like to see Raymond test out playing center.

Gunler is looking real promising though, his defensive game could use some work, but if he keeps this up he could contend for top 3 in the draft, and maybe even 1OA.

That actually looked quite Mario-esque!

Of course there are things he needs to improve. The boy just turned 17 and is, of course, not complete. But from what I've seen his offensive awareness is as good as it comes at that age.

Yes, absolutely, I have no doubt he'll get better at it.

Kid is killing it right now. May be a subtle top-5 riser.

He is a top 5 player in the 2020 draft in my book. Great player

 

[ZEBROA]

I belive Holtz, Raymond and Gunler are realy close in talent. Different talents but close overall. Hope they all do realy well this year and next . Exiting to follow all of them.

 

[theslatcher]

No point in last 2 games, but during those games he's been on the ice for (at least) 3 goals, and 0 goals against.
