I would.
I think Guhle is going to be a good 2nd pairing guy, he isn't a first pairing guy IMO. He also isn't a known point producing defensemen either.
I think Nylander (William) will be a big point producing player, throw in having his brother here as well that could be huge for the organization down the road.
To make it clear I like Guhle a lot but I would trade him for Nylander. - Stripes77

I like Guhle, but you do that and run. Nylander is already really good, we don't know how good Guhle is yet. - sbroads24
Exactly! GMTM was dealt an ace in Guhle. Played just enough for GM's to inquire about how good he could be. Getting traded to a good junior team and playing good for them is icing on the cake. A bird in hand is better than 2 in the bush so if you can get Willie, holy S where do I sign. Problem is the amount of time any team would need to wait to get him. I don't know if the Leafs would trade for a player that isn't ready to play for them tomorrow.

A center/winger for a center/winger at same stage of development? That's like that guy in your fantasy league that says hey, I'll trade you one of my receivers for one of your receivers. Ennnnnt, I don't think so.

I would bet my life savings that Cody Franson would outplay Ristolainen if given 20 minutes per night on the top line. I believe even NHL coaches are often even worse than fans at evaluating based on perception rather than reality. - James_Tanner
in response to my post of:
Totally writing off PP stats is a mistake though. As of Friday Ristolainen was 3rd in the NHL in percentage of his teams goals that the player has an assist on. Karlsson is 1st and I forget who is 2nd. - Wetbandit1

James Tanner is Paulfromny's Alt. - Der Kaiser
He has a great 5 on 5 dingleberry/ wipe modified corsi %...adjusted for single-ply tp vs. 2-ply of course. But after you account for backsplash (when the bathroom fan is on vs. off) his pushing of play falls off a cliff.
