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

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

Why was Gunler left off Hlinka team and U18 team? Has a coach ever explained why he wasn't picked? Any legitimacy to rumour of attitude issues?

The only official statement regarding the U18's is that "it's about solving a jigsaw puzzle," and that other players were more outstanding during the 5 nations tournament in Russia(which is a lie aside from Holtz/Raymond/Nybeck). He also said Gunler was a reserve for U18's.

I am aware of the age restrictions for these tournaments. I was asking why was he left off in the years that he was eligible to be on the teams.

At 2018 Hlinka, both Holtz and Raymond were there and are younger than Gunler, so it's not simply an issue of age.

I think you are confused about it.

Nobody ever said it was all about age, but two years ago Gunler was rawer than most picked.

You can speculate all you want in terms of where there are smoke there are fire. I think it’s pretty obvious that Havelid wasn’t Gunler’s biggest fan.

But OTOH, when a guy have to play with guys mostly a year older than him it’s not the same thing as had he been left off this year. Facts are that he missed the cut for this tournament by a very brief period of time — and had he been eligible this year he would by far have been Sweden’s best player there and a goto player on the roster.

Your continues “I want to know more” requests along with statements that these hush hush issues raise your suscpions is also odd. When has a coach ever given through explanation for cutting a player? Well maybe it was done when the US national team was selected for the World Cup (or was it the OGs?). All hell broke lose. Call up the coach and see if you can get him to talk, his number is listed in the phone book.

You have posted here since 2005, these things can’t be news to you...

Spare me -- and everyone else -- the lecture. If you have insight that you can put in the form of an answer, do so. If not, don't answer the question with a word salad.

And again, no, there is no confusion about age-eligibility for either event.

Don't really know anything about these guys but from what I've heard Alexander Holtz is a better prospect. He's born in 2002, compared to Gunler who is a late '01.

Lucas Raymond also seems to be a talented '02.

Holtz and Raymond both have better production than Gunler in J18 Allsvenskan.

Fast-forward two-and-half years and all three are in the conversation for Top 10 with two considered locks for the Top 10.

Don't ever let anyone say reading HFBoards isn't a good way to survey the landscape of hockey prospects. You just need to learn to separate the wheat from the chaff.

Been a good week so far for Gunler. More TOI and the points are coming. Hopefully on the first line with Connolly and Emanuelsson tomorrow
