LD Kaiden Guhle - Edmonton Oil Kings, WHL (2020, 16th MTL)

[landy92mack29]

I've been extremely impressed by him during the WHL Cup and it's obvious why he was the 1st pick this past draft. He's a very good skater, has great vision and IQ while also already having a very complete game. He's very confident and aggressive for his age and knows how to pick his spots. His older brother is fellow Raiders alum Brendan Guhle of the Buffalo Sabres so he also has the bloodlines as well as the size already while still growing. I'm definitely looking forward to watching his game progress over the coming years

Really stood out to me at the WHL Cup. Kid is crazy good. Reminds me of Ekblad. Plays like a veteran.

Made his WHL debut tonight in Edmonton and didnt look out of place. Didnt get a lot of ice time but what he did get he was solid defensively and moved the puck better than the rest of the Raiders d-core.

I think he can contend for the 3rd overall pick behind Byfield and Lafreniere

He’s not as good as Holtz

He’s not as good as Holtz

I'd say 22 months away from a draft its hard to say anything with any certainty.

Yeah little bit early for that.

 

[sufferer]

Hopefully Buffalo can scoop him up to play with his bro.

Your picture perfectly demonstrates what this forum feels about your comment.

Between him and Barron who do you guys think projects to better at this moment?

I think Guhle projects better and will have a much more complete game but Barron might have a slight edge offensively. Obviously a ways out but Guhle is my top D for 2020 with Barron+Schneider a step behind of the players I know well as of this moment.

Definitely Guhle.

Drysdale over all these guys for me.

Guhle is the only guy I think on Drysdale's level right now

I am not certain as to why these trite observations garner so much attention.

How is his skating compared to his brothers

How is his skating compared to his brothers

Pretty comparable at the same age, definitely a strength.

 

[grentthealien]

How is he playing? I see he is pointless through 6 games. Is he getting a lot of minutes or is this possibly a disappointing start to the season?

 

[landy92mack29]

Only seen one game this year but he looked good. didn't get much ice time though and no pp time as PA is a good team with vets. Should get more opportunities as the year goes on

Yeah seems buried a bit. Was a healthy scratch in the last game I went to watch.

Kid is still trucking along on the Raiders 3rd pairing. Finally got his first goal of the season. Unfortunate that Guhle has joined such a stacked team. Raiders are looking like they will be 14-1-0 after tonight. The even more unfortunate thing is they will be losing a fair bit of players next year though some may stick around for an overage season. But maybe that will be good for Guhle.

He's actually been getting more time the last couple games including PP time which is good and in those games he has 1G+2A in his last 3 games. It was his 1st WHL goal so congrats to him.

That's good. The kid is a sublime talent on the backend. I fear he would be getting buried in that deep lineup. Good to see him finding his way to the top.

Needs to get traded to make an impact, he is wasted on the 3rd line.
