Lee has more value than that IMO

2x7M for a 30pts player but true

in a system other than NYI's I feel like he would get more lol

Minnesota isn't going to send you a power forward who is more valuable than Trevor Zegras or Cole Caufield for that.

I would argue Guhle and Boldy have equivalent value. I would not do this deal as a Habs fan.

START THE CAR!!! START THE CAR!!! I can see Kent Hughes running with MB on his shoulders!!!

You're wrong in isolation, and you're doubly wrong in the context of your having a surplus of quality LhDs on the roster and in the pipeline. Kent Hughes would push a peanut with his nose on his hands and knees down St. Catherine's Street in the dead of winter to make this trade, as your knowledgeable colleague @BadaBing says.

nah lee has just been not as good at tipping as he normally is. He has an expected goals of 32 but only has 18

I agree that Boldy is worth more than Guhle atm, but not to the extent you're suggesting and that's being suggested in this trade. If Kent Hughes was hell bent on getting Boldy and had to overpay, then this deal is fine.

Let's not undersell Guhle here, he's still very much projecting to be a top pairing defensemen, and is trending to achieve that projection. The scouting report on this very website suggests it, multiple scouting reports and articles from other websites (the Athletic recently wrote about Guhle, etc.) suggest the same. All agree he won't be a superstar, but a steady reliable two-way top pairing guy.
Best comparable I can think of that Guhle is projecting to become, is Jacob Slavin. Not a superstar, doesn't play the PP, but plays the most even strength and PK minutes and can put roughly between 30-40pts a season. Definitely a top pairing guy.

I agree with you 100% that Guhle is projecting to be a top-pair LhD. 100%. My point is that a projection plus a last-quarter first don't come close to a youngster drafted 12th overall who has already proven that he's an All-Star.
