Nice. Say what you want about Guhle but he’s a good talent to have around in this rebuild. Maybe he puts it together

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Glad to see Carrick sticking around. At worst he'll continue to be a force in SD, but honestly I'd have him pencilled into the NHL roster as of now - and likely the best option for 4C ahead of Backes/Aggozino.

Great contract for guhle

2-year deal makes him Seattle eligible if needed, no?

 

[MMC]

Still gotta sign Milano, Larsson, Terry, Sherwood, and Persson in terms of RFAs

Yes, depending on when it actually happens

Solid depth moves. How many NHL games does Guhle need to play now in order to be exposed in the expansion draft?

Either 40 games next season, or 70 combined between this season and next.

Well, he can be exposed no matter how many games he plays. But we have to expose one D who meets the 30/70 criteria. Maybe he’s it. Maybe it’s someone else like Larsson.

I would let Persson go. At $1 million per year, one way, he is too expensive.

Yeah, I think Hakanpaa has passed him on the depth chart, no need to keep another RH 8th d man

Yeah I meant how many games did he need to be able to be counted for the exposure requirements.

So basically it’s 40 next season in either case as he played 30 this year. Looks like Larsson is the guy who is more likely to qualify, if we can sign him past next season he only needs 10 games. At least it looks likely we have at least one guy who counts.

Yeah, there are all sorts of possibilities. Djoos is also a possibility if he's a regular next season. He's unsigned for 21-22 but we hold his RFA rights, so we could easily retain him. Even Gudbranson could fit, although it wouldn't make much sense to re-sign him only to expose him right away.

Not likely to happen, but if for some reason we can't find a way to extend Manson, we could work out a deal with Seattle where they would take him in the ED (and then extend him) in exchange for some assets.

Good singings. Especially with Guhle, who if he an take the next step in the NHL can be a solid asset. It also seems like they are going to have some nice healthy competition for those last D spots. I like that. I don’t think the D was the main issue or even an issue when fully healthy it was more the lack of some depth when one of our Top 4 guys went down. A team may have a couple of #4/#5 guys at their disposal, we had more 6’s and 7’s, playing in a Top 4 role.

If they can fix scoring, including the PP, you never know what can happen next season......whenever that may be.

I would try to keep him for depth but he might want to go back to Europe. Our RHD depth is very thin, just Manson, Gudbranson, Hakanpaa, and a bunch of players who have to shift to their off side. Having another natural RHD with NHL upside is a need. I’d much rather buy out Backes and play either Agozzino, Carrick, or Rowney at 4C and use part of the $1.5M we’d save on Persson.

 

[gilfaizon]

Really like both deals, two years for Guhle is a nice bridge and gives him a couple years to put it together. His skillset is built for the current NHL so he could be a very nice 3rd pairing dman if he pans out.

 

[MilesNewton]

Any word that Wideman or Irvin get signed both are free agents I believe.

 

[Kalv]

Great deals for this organization. Guhle deal is on a very reasonable number, albeit that one-way worries me a bit, would be great if that first year would have been two-way. We are at 6 one way D contracts right now. 3d pair of Guhle-Hawk would be interesting to watch Jani keep improving defensively.
And Carrick I suspect will again play basically for SD, which is great for the org overall.

 

[mightyquack]

Good news for San Diego at least.

I guess there may be a miracle with Guhle, but I'm not holding my breath on that front. He still has the same issues now as years ago.

 

[Sens]

Guhle reminds me of Bret Hedican... has a decent career

 

[MMC]

Pretty sure Guhle requires waivers starting next season anyways

Why does the one way matter to you. Just means he's getting paid either way. I don't think we need to lose sleep over a 800k contract.

Waiver eligibility doesn't change

If we send him down, we can lose him. Or am I completely lost my hockey brain already?

1 way/2 way has nothing to do with waivers (the NHL video games are the reason people think that). 2 way just means that he gets paid a different salary in the minors. 1 way deals mean that he gets that 800K salary whether he's in the NHL or AHL.
