Thread: GabaGuhle
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RazWild</b></div><div>Guhle is not worth the 13th OVA on just is own. And Habs fans are being delusional, if they think he is. A late mid to late 1st, sure, but he's not bringing you back a top 15 pick on his own. Especially if you're asking said team to just trade out of the 1st round entirely.

Then again, this is coming from a fanbase that thinks Guhle is worth Boldy straight up. So, delusional, isn't anything new.

Even then, asking Minnesota to drop 13 spots in exchange for Guhle is a bit much given how weak this draft class is.

So Minnesota is not doing that.

What value Guhle DOES carry, that difference here means the addition of a solid to decent prospect that's in need of a change of scenery. Anything better than that is going to be off the table. That means you're going to get a Beckman, O'Rourke, or Hunt type of prospect.

Habs don't need LD, which means a forward, ergo Beckman. Enjoy.</div></div>

I completely disagree. If Sennecke or Eiserman are there at 13, which I would bet is a real possibility, I think it’s a very even trade for both sides. I would much rather move back to 26 and get a long-term LHD partner for Faber. Those two together would eat A LOT of really quality minutes. If Montreal drafts Dickinson at 5, he is Guhle’s direct, long-term replacement. Then at 13 you’re almost guaranteed to get an Eiserman, Sennecke, or player that slips. This deal helps both teams with where they are trying to go. I love this trade so much.

Obviously you never know what will happen at the draft but based on mock drafts, if Montreal ends up with 5 and 13 they have a 99% chance of some sort of combination of Demidov, Lindstrom, Dickinson, Eiserman, Sennecke, or Yakemchuk. That is worth Kaiden Guhle, in my opinion.
