The Montreal Canadiens have a very interesting core with several other prospects who will arrive soon.
Several transactions made by Kent Hughes have greatly helped to accelerate the rebuild.
However, a rebuild also involves making good choices in the draft and not necessarily very high picks like Ivan Demidov.
We obviously think of Michael Hage, selected 21st overall, who had a very good first season in the NCAA. However, other players drafted during the Marc Bergevin era have also been nice surprises.
Cole Caufield, taken 15th overall, is one example, but there’s also Kaiden Guhle (16th overall) who, despite injuries, proves he can be a defensive pillar.
A big, reliable defender who hits a lot is exciting.
Marc Denis talked about it a bit earlier today.
According to the analyst, Guhle excites all teams:

The impact he has with the club is not to be neglected.
« The fact that he’s back, systematically, he’s back on my top defense pair. » – Marc Denis
Marc Denis took the opportunity to talk about the pair formed by Guhle and Lane Hutson. What they could build together could be incredible.
Not only could they be the Habs’ top defense pair for a long time, but the idea of seeing them establish themselves as an unbeatable duo in the entire NHL is not crazy.
The former goalie also made a small mention of the leadership of #21.
« The leadership he brings, the attitude he has, he’s a captain at heart. I think Kaiden Guhle can have leadership that will resemble Shea Weber. » – Marc Denis
When you think about it, even if it’s a strong comparison, the similarity is there.
Obviously, we’ll have to wait and see what Guhle can bring in terms of leadership before comparing him to Papa Shea, but with what we’ve seen so far, he’s on the right track.

– Very interesting.
