Guhle isn't ready yet. His skating is NHL ready but his strength and Hockey iq aren't. He had a lot of turnovers last game. Also, when's the last time you've seen an 18 year old 2nd round pick make an NHL team? He won't play in an NHL regular season game this year.

All that was said was that he'd get his 9 games.
I agree i think theyre gave him that contract to give him a legit chance

i'm just saying they see something in him that they wanted him signed now ..

TM did draft Erik Karlsson and everyone thought it was a huge risk at the time .

If you're gonna put Foligno as the 4th line center then

Have McCormick center the 4th line and let mcGinn work the phones for the Slvester, Petey and legwand show.

Someone will jump in to tell us Reinhart is too slow to ride w ROR and Kane, but they'll be wrong.

That top 6 looks very promising, that third line however looks like a line we would have used in the past two years. Moulson relies on his line mates, so to put him with an unproven young center and an aging Gionta seems like a recipe for disaster.

If we go with that top 6 (which I am on board with) I see Moulson as expendable. These first few months of the season should be very interesting.

That's not vodka he's holding.....

He still looks like he could play.

Sign the guy in the middle. He looks fit and ready to go...

The only reason that Stinkhart starts in the AHL will be do to he's the only one that can be sent down. It will be a shame if/when that happens.

Happy Training Camp Day!!!

I keep going back and forth about this. In some ways, I think it would be beneficial for him to spend a little time there. But at the same time, I'd like to let him grow here. I'm going to wait until he gets some preseason time before I pick which one is better for him at this point. I need to see what he can do against other NHLers first.

is he still playing in the KHL? probably isn't any worse than Ocho Cinco

I think he has retired.

Edit- his last season was 2010-11, he had a 2.48, .915 and 7 shutouts for Moscow Spartak in the KHL.
