I'm still in awe of those last shifts protecting the lead against the Moose where he was battling non stop vs an AHL vet for like 2 min. They were trying to pick on him thinking he wouldn't be able to handle it but instead he shut them down hard lol. Dude was a beast along the board and corner and was out muscling a grown man as a 18 yo.
I'm just salivating at the thought of a d pair of Guhle - Romanov. Facing that in a 7 game series wouldn't be fun I'm sure. Hopefully guys like Struble and Fleury continue developing well and that's a pretty hard hitting defense you got there. Also, not only can they hit, but they can all skate which would fit perfectly for Ducharme's man to man dzone coverage scheme. Norlinder can add the flair hehe.
Of course they won't all develop as intended, or will they? hehe, but I'm confident with Guhle being an NHLer. That covid invitational really was a gift in disguise with the emergence of the young centers and drafting Guhle over Marco Rossi or Cole Perfetti. I was skeptical when the pick was announced like "why another LD?" but now, after the WJC and watching these few games in Laval, I'm definitely hyped. Plus, with Romanov being developed as a RD, it all works out in the end.
