I don't get it. It's our most stocked position in the entire system. Desperate for scoring.

The younger brother of Anaheim Ducks defenceman Brendan Guhle, Kaiden Guhle was the first overall pick in the 2017 WHL Bantam Draft. In his rookie season in 2018-19, he was part of the WHL Champion Prince Albert Raiders. Guhle put up three goals and 17 points in 65 games that year. He added three assists in 23 playoff games and appeared in three games at the Memorial Cup. However, as a 16-year-old WHL Rookie, he had limited ice time on the deep Raiders team. This season, Guhle’s responsibility has gone up, and he had a breakout campaign. Guhle scored 11 goals and 29 assists for 40 points in 64 games for the Raiders before the season was cancelled.

Guhle has also been a player for Team Canada on the international stage. He was the captain of Canada Red at the 2018 Under-17 World Hockey Challenge, putting up three assists in six games. He also played at last summer’s Hlinka-Gretzky Cup. Guhle was an alternate captain, scored one assist in five games, and helped Canada to win a silver medal. He also appeared in the CHL Top Prospects Game. Guhle was one of the most impressive players in the game, playing solid defensively and also scoring the game’s opening goal.

[CauZuki]

Wow...Didn't expect this, hopefully he turns into a solid top 4 D.

 

[sukimono]

wtf?

 

[overlords]

I want to pronounce it Kaiden GHOUL. What a bad ass name that would be.

 

[ForeverHabs97]

Welcome!

Was hoping for a forward but time will tell.

That's the problem, some don't make it, some lose their potential and you never know their potential until they get to nhl

 

[Techcoockie]

I don't get it. It's our most stocked position in the entire system. Desperate for scoring.

All position are filled. So you pick the most talented player, which is for them Ghule

Romanov and Norlinder can both play RD as well.

 

[azcanuck]

I like it. Taking best available not need. None of these guys are going to be available for years anyway.

 

[McGuires Corndog]

This is a horrible pick. Wow.

 

[Et le But]

Far safer than Lapierre, for the organization that loves "safe" over skill.

Wonder if they will try to trade Romanov now

 

[TheBuriedHab]

Love it. I know most of the posters in the draft threads weren't very high on him but I love him.

 

[FrankMTL]

I gues they really went with BPA in their opinion.

 

[Adriatic]

Love this pick. This guy is gonna be great.

 

[JeffreyLFC]

How many left defenseman we need...

 

[CanadienShark]

I'm good with this. I figured it was going to happen after picks #13 & #14.

Tons of LHD now though.

Guhle isnt talented.

 

[Habs]

If Weber had a kid, it would be Kaiden Guhle.

 

[Hannibal]

Lost of word...

 

[Matthew McConaughay]

Not another defenseman.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

No players dropped but I would have preferred going for a forward like Bourque or Reichel but none of them are game breakers. Best asset available I guess...

FWIW, a scout compared him to Chychrun.

 

[BigHabs]

Solid pick!

6’2 can still grow and they said on air that he is already at 215lbs.

This guy seems like a Weber type player!

 

[McGuires Corndog]

Romanov projects better than Guhle, IMO

 

[Lebowski]

How does he compare to Juulsen?
