yeah, I agree with what you’re saying, but then the question becomes, if Guhle is too often injured, can you rely on him to be part of your top 4, or should the habs consider moving on..?
If he can play 70 games a year, then you keep him.
Otherwise, it becomes a struggle from year to year planning your top 6.
Then again, he is under contract for $5.5M for this year and 4 more afterwards….
I really like Guhle a lot and hope this is an aberration for his career going forward…. unlike Dach, who I feel is doomed to always be injured.
I love Guhle. I think he brings exactly the kind of play you need in your top 4.
But with over 100 games missed in his first three season. It’s more than likely he’s not bound to play 82 games most years. That doesn’t mean you can’t have him, just that you need to be able to live without him at times.
Hence why I said in the blog keeping Matheson around becomes even more of a priority.
Unless they think Engstrom is ready to play in the NHL, which he probably is in a third pairing role.

(Then again, kept Laine off the ice a lot, so… not all bad!).

🤣losing Guhle might be the biggest one though, the backend is different without him there… hopefully he doesn’t have the same curse as Dach, jfc.

I dunno why, but it just seems like so many injuries year after year… I know they happen, but we have had lots of long-term ones…

Losing Newhook really sucked though. T_T
Yeah, Newhook was finally starting to look like the player we wanted when we made the trade and I like how he worked with Kappy and Demodov.
The Guhle injury hurts a lot too, but good thing we kept Matheson – he has been really solid this year.
Well for some (Dach, Guhle, Laine) a healthy season should almost be seen as a surprising bonus at this point. Building the roster should be with this in mind.

Probably ahead, too.
I am more frustrated by the volume of injuries… this team seems cursed year after year.

We are exactly where we should be.

You can tell fans have adjusted their expectations this year as we are back to being a completely bipolar fanbase. Going way too high in the good times and way too low in the bad ones during a long 82 games season.
Yet if you had asked fans before the season: Would you take a 10-6-3 record after 19 games? I think the answer would have been a resounding “YES!”.
We are exactly where we should be.
it was nice how happy everybody was at first though.
