<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KingofRnR</b></div><div>Thanks for the comment and for taking the time to source &amp; share the highlights!

Don't get me wrong, I know Guhle is an Excellent Player. I live in Edmonton and have seen him Play Live a few times and think he will be a Great NHL Player, but with only 2 Pre-Season games under his belt (one good and one really nothing special), I'm not satisfied he's ready for the Speed and Skill of a regular season NHL game. He may be gifted with size already, but I wouldn't say he's necessarily faster than Kylington and although you didn't say he did, without the experience, he's not a better decision maker than Kylington

The risk is him being eaten alive out there and losing confidence in his game. Just my opinion of course, but also pretty standard for players to play in the AHL first to learn their Teams system and continue to develop towards being NHL Ready. I have the same opinion of OTT's Jake Sanderson. It's just very rare a player can jump from Junior to the NHL, especially as a D-Man</div></div>

You don't have to sell me on Kylington, I like him as a player. He kind of reminds me of a younger Brett Kulak. After further consideration I think this deal would work but only as an insurance policy for Harris and Barron on the right side. I am not worried about Guhle, he will be fine and if he struggles a bit can be sheltered some on the 3rd pairing. Getting Kylington could allow us to run Harris on his strong side. We wouldn't have a true top pair this year but Matheson-Savard, Guhle-Kylington, Harris-Wideman would make 3 decent pairings.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KingofRnR</b></div><div>As I was trying to elude too, skipping &amp; rushing a players development is not recommended. Allowing them more time to grow &amp; fill out (both physically &amp; mentally) = gain strength &amp; confidence and then easing them in to the NHL is usually the way to go. There are exceptions, like Top-5 Draft Picks, otherwise and especially with Defensemen, it takes time for Prospects to be ready for Full-Time NHL action

<strong>There's a HUGE difference between playing against Boys in Junior to playing with Much Bigger, Faster and Stronger Men in the NHL</strong></div></div>

Tell that to the guys Guhle and Xhekaj have been laying out over the last week or two! Guhle is NHL ready. He is already bigger and faster than Kylington, his mental strength is there as well as he makes better decisions both with and without the puck than both Harris and Barron who have NHL experience as well. If you don't think he is NHL ready check out the highlights from the game last night vs the Jets. He scored the opening goal and the Jets had Samberg, Schmitt, Appleton and Gustafsson on and Hinola was coming back into the play from the box. Those aren't exactly jr players there. Sure it is the preseason and that isn't going to be the Jets normal PK but they are all NHL players (with the exception of Hinola).

Also take a look at who he pins along the boards at the 3:47 mark of the following video. The end result is still a goal off a deflection for the Jets but he had his man and the breakdown came from a lack of support from the forwards in the board battle. The Jets forward (without the puck) comes in and digs the puck out but Guhle still does his job pinning Dubois along the borads.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KingofRnR</b></div><div>Other than Matheson and Edmundson (who's out indefinitely), can you name any that have played more than 25 NHL Games and are ready for Full-Time NHL Duties!?

MTL is a 2-3 years away from guys like Harris, Guhle, Xhekaj, Trudeau or Struble being ready for Full-Time Time NHL action. Rushing their development by just throwing them to the Wolves would not be a wise decision. Obtaining a Young 2LD and a Couple Slovak Prospects (to help their newest Future Star Draft Picks in Slafkovsky &amp; Mesar feel more comfortable and at home) in exchange for an older pending UFA + undersized Centre Prospect who's 2-3 years away from playing in the NHL would though</div></div>

Why does playing more than 25 games matter, Guhle and Xhekaj are proving in training camp that they are both ready for the NHL (especially Guhle) also since Harris has NHL experience as does Barron they too may make the roster. Habs management has already said they are not focused on winning games this year, this year is all about development even at the NHL level. To be quite frank, Montreal is not interested in another bottom pairing D man and may be moving towards the idea of running a top 4 of Guhle-Savard and Matheson-Harris even after Eddy returns.

Sujet: Montreal - Laval - Trois-Rivieres - Precise Line up
Mysak and Mesar are not going back to jr. and neither will be in the ECHL either. Also your projected lineup for the Habs is all messed up especially since Caufield-Suzuki-Anderson were together this morning. Here is my projected (not precise) lineup for all 3 leagues

Habs (to start season)

Caufield-Suzuki-Anderson
Dadonov-Dvorak-Gallagher
Drouin-Dach-Armia
Hoffman-Monahan-Evans
Guhle-Savard
Matheson-Harris
Xhekaj-Wideman
Allen
Montembault

extras
Pitlick
Pezzetta
Schueneman

once Eddy and Byron are back Pezzetta and Xhekaj get demoted to Laval and Eddy takes 3LD and Byron pushes Evans or Armia to being scratched (don't want this just feels like it will happen)

Laval

Slafkovsky-Kidney-Mesar
RHP-Richard-Roy
Heineman-Mysak-Ylonen
Condotta-Hillis-Belzile
Schnarr-Stevens-Teasdale
Simoneau
Norlinder-Barron
Fairbrother-Bowey
Trudeau-Leskinen
Tourigny
Primeau
Poulin

Everyone else is going to Troi-Riviers

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KMMHL2012</b></div><div>Montreal probably has one of the deepest prospect pools in the NHL right now, the big issue isn't Forwards for them (Slaf, Ylonen, Roy, Heinemen, Mesar, Kidney, Beck, Tuch, Kapanen, Farrell) , it's RD (They have Mailloux, and that's it) and G (Primeau)

And all that excludes them having 5 first round picks in the next 3 years, and excludes any additional picks they can get come TDL for some movements (depending on how Monahan, Dadonov, Hoffman, Drouin, perform).</div></div>

I know, but for each forward we move out ie Hoffman and replace with a younger guy (Slafkovsky) we need a replacement in Laval as well. As I said though Florida has no RD or G prospects worth asking about and their 1st is 4 years away. I was more just looking at freeing up forward positions without strengthening the team too much rn. Maybe I was a bit light on the return from Florida but I just don't see too much else we would be interested in lol.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KMMHL2012</b></div><div>Even without a buyout, Hoffman can be shipped for future considerations to a team looking for additional goal scoring.

or maybe even a 6th rd pick if salary retention is involved (which would be equivalent-ish to the buyout scenario).

These Bob to Montreal trades need to stop, Montreal doesn't need Bob, Montreal shouldn't even want Bob, he's marginally an upgrade over Allen and costs 3.5x as much. Montreal got a 1st to take Monahan, it would take some serious sweetening to take on Bob at $10M for several years</div></div>

I agree about the marginal upgrade on Allen and his contract being horrible but it also helps us clear up some of the mess of the forward group and we get a good winger prospect and a 2nd back as well. I am not saying it is a perfect scenario cause lets face it Bob is 34 and signed until he is 38 and is signed for Price money as well. I guess you could add a 2026 1st but that is such a long way off it's almost not worth it and the Cats prospect pool is really really thin, so I was looking at it like what can we dump on them that helps us as well.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TMLBRIAN</b></div><div>I made the Montreal version of this here - https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/3668287

The biggest factor for me, was clearing up forward contracts and accumulating picks. Their D is clearly not good enough this year.

Unleashing Barrie to get Caufield and Suzuki and gang going would be fun to see in my mind.</div></div>

We have puck movers who in Matheson, Wideman, Harris, Barron and Guhle is even showing solid skating and passing abilities our only defensive D men are Guhle (more of a 2-way guy), Savard and Edmundson. Edmundson is injured and you are trading Savard to add another offensive D man. You think our D is bad now having 4-6 offensive guys and no defensive guys would be a shooting gallery for our opponents.
