Kaiden Guhle's Player Profile

Tony Ferrari - Dobber Prospects - Sept. 30th: "An aggressive defender who closes gaps quickly and tries to shut down offense before it gets a chance to even get going. His willingness to step up into the neutral zone to engage physically is what allows him to have so much success shutting down opponents."

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - Sept. 21st: "While I don’t see power play upside, his defensive game is already pretty refined. Guhle’s skating is going to be an asset at the NHL level too – he can probably stand to get even stronger without sacrificing it – and if he can build upon a decent but unspectacular foundation offensively, he could become a second-pairing guy."

Mike Morreale - NHL.com - Aug. 25th: "He's a two-way defenseman who's considered a good skater with a hard shot. Guhle is a great value with tremendous upside at this point in the draft. He scored 40 points (11 goals, 29 assists) in 64 games."

Adam Kimelman - NHL.com - Aug. 25th: "Guhle's skating allows him to excel in any kind of game, from up-tempo and attacking to grinding and physical. He's strong enough to use his body (6-2, 186) to punish opposing forwards."

Steve Kourmianos - The Draft Analyst - Aug. 10th: "Guhle, much like Schneider, is your prototypical, modern-day WHL defenseman who mixes in solid positional play with physicality and multi-directional mobility."

Chris Peters - ESPN - June 30th: "One of the draft's most athletic players, Guhle is an especially mobile defenseman who packs a punch. The concern about the younger brother of NHL defenseman Brendan Guhle is in his overall offensive upside"

Sam Cosentino - Sportsnet - June 25th: "Has experienced the perfect developmental curve in having to earn his chops as a youngster, and then progressing to big minutes in his second season."

Mike G. Morreale - NHL.com - June 23rd: "The left-handed shot (6-2, 186) plays big minutes at a high pace and has proven to be effective in all areas of the ice. He's regarded as a two-way defenseman with good skating, a hard shot and imposing size."

Dayton Reimer - The Hockey Writers - May 22nd: "Guhle, who is listed at 6-foot-3, 187 pounds, is an imposing figure who possesses the skating and defensive ability to warrant his. He is a textbook shutdown defenseman and his size allows him to play that game successfully. He has issues with his offensive game but showed off a promising shot while recording 40 points this season in Prince Albert."

Sam Cosentino - Sportsnet - Apr. 8th: "There’s big value in this complementary defenceman. Combination of size, amazing skating ability and nastiness are attractive."

Cam Robinson - Dobber Prospects - Apr. 1st: "Strapping blueliner with great mobility and a keen eye for defending. Has the potential to be a minute-muncher down the line, albeit with a somewhat limited offensive ceiling. Safe."

Mike G. Morreale - NHL.com - Mar. 20th: "A two-way defenseman with good skating, a hard shot and imposing size. He had 40 points (11 goals, 29 assists) in 64 games."
