Obviously a slide candidate contract but happy to see he wasn't too greedy on the bonuses!

I don't think Kaiden Guhle should have been picked that high, but good luck to him nonetheless...

Gunler was taken in 41 Perrault way down at the end of first round and Reichel was a big reach from CHI. There were better players at 16 and Guhle was one of them.

If the Habs were to pick anyone else it would've been Lapierre, Mercer, or Schnieder.

bro are you stupid? Gunler, Reichel and Preeault can be top 6/1st line forwards but Guhle is a gauranteed NHLer who will be at best a 2nd pair dman. Gunler, Reichel and Pereault would maybe be reaches but why not trade down? Guhle shouldn't have been taken in the 1st round. He is scared of the puck and makes bad decisions with the puck, he is a liability offensively. The only good thing about him is his size which is madly overvalued and he is good at defence. Guhle was one of the worst picks in the 1st round.

well if thats the case I would take Mercer. Lapierre is too much risk, Schneider is a lot like Guhle in terms of ceiling (gauranteed NHLer at best 2nd pair.) This shows how stupid Bergevin and the scouts are. I don't know what they see in Guhle but I doubt he is ever gonna be worth it

Solid player. I think he may end up being a top d-man on his team

I don't know how you can get that cocky and absolutely sure that you're right and Bergevin's scouts wrong. As long as im concerned, I don't watch ALLLL junior games especially not Europe so I can't judge their actions. We'll just see in 2-3 or even 5 years if they got it right. At that point, say what you want. But right now they put their bet on Guhle and we'll see how it goes... you can't start comparing stuff you have no knowledge on.

And yes i'm confident you don't have the knowledge, cause anyone who watches junior games and scouts players know how impossible it is to forecast their future with 100% accuracy as you're doing right now. Don't call people stupid just because their opinions are different than yours...

Don't hate on Bergevin and his staff especially not when it comes to drafting. Sure Kotkaniemi was a reach at 3 in 2018 but he was the best center available. They've done very well at drafted players who fit the team mold while continuing to get nice steals. I'll admit I definitely had my doubts about Guhle but if the Canadiens chose to draft him at 16th knowing that another team would pick him if they traded down, other teams see something in him too. I don't think he was one of the worst picks of the 1st round by a good bit, Chinakhov, Mukhamadullin, Wiessblatt, and Grieg definitely go below him. The Canadiens saw in the playoffs this year that they can't rely 100% on Carey Price. Every Canadiens fan knows this. The only solution is to get defensively reliable defensemen. Weber and Chiarot were the only reliable defensemen and they had to play 20+ minutes a night. Getting a defenseman like Guhle fills a big whole despite what you may think.

I get your point but looking into Chinakov I think he will be a stud. I think Guhle is a horrible pick. I think yes Guhle is a good defender but he is good at literally nothing else. If we wanted a dman why not get William Villenuve i the 3/4th round bc he can be great or even get Wallinder as those guys are reliable and have a high ceiling. I don't think we need Guhle considering the fact that we already have Mete, Fleury, Brook, Struble, Romanov, and Norlinder. I think we would have been better off upgrading our offence and then go for a dman next year bc next years draft is great with dman. However I agree we may need some extra dman but I just ain't a fan of Guhle's Ceiling and the way he plays.

smh most of the guys you mentioned are either healthy scratches, career AHLers, or guys we will not sign. Top four and Romanov are the only true NHLers as of right now

He isn’t meant to fill a hole. Right now the biggest weakness in the habs organization is a RHD to replace Petry/Weber in 4-5 years, which is not at all pressing. The habs have accumulated enough prospects & NHLers that they can draft who they think is the BPA.

Upside doesn't always translate, that's why you stock the cupboards.
