He's going to look good potentially playing with Shane Wright or Brad Lambert. Hopefully the Coyotes stay in Arizona so their fans can finally see a good on ice product. This kid can be a good one.

Poor kid

Should be signing with the Canucks

Gut feeling he's going to be given a nine-game stint or less.

I feel he is going to do well in Arizona. Canucks will regret trading the pick.

2ppg in his draft year in WHL. I'm not sure how he fell to 9th overall.

To be fair it was a very small sample size although I do think he was a GREAT pick at #9 and undervalued at that slot. He’s not the flashiest or most explosive prospect so I think there’s a temptation to muzzle his “star” upside a bit. But he’s so good, so we’ll-rounded and has been so productive everywhere. The NHL (past a cup of coffee) is likely a bridge too far this season as last we saw him he clearly wasn’t ready physically/strength wise but he’s gonna be a good one. The Coyotes gave up a great little player in Garland but given their window - I’d say they did amazingly to get a prospect as high level as Guenther back.

If he goes back and destroys the WHL this season, he’ll be knocking on top-10 prospect status (league wide) by next summer imo. He’s a true blue chipper in my opinion. Not a franchise guy but a guy you can project into a serious first line role down the line.

Favourite forward in the draft. I know a lot of people doubt his ‘development’ because he’s on the Yotes. I think it’s a great scenario for him though where they can afford to give him lots of opportunity.

Was so close to dropping to the Senators.

Especially if they can land a top center in the next draft and/or grab matthews (IF he decides to do that). Guenther definitely makes up the loss of Garland long term.

I'm happy for the Coyotes that they got him signed. I hope he does well for the team.

He has the unfortunate condition of having the ‘RW’ term attached to his name instead of ‘C’. That is the main reason, he definitely shouldn’t of dropped that far.
