Starting to wonder if we could see him as a regular as soon as next year to replace kulak
BTW whos Niku ? - Xizord
this is where i hate the system. likely no sense having Guhle in the NHL but he seems like a guy who would benefit much more from a year in the AHL as opposed to going back to junior.

Agreed.
At least he'll likely be named Captain Canada at the WJC.

I don't know, wouldn't mind him going back to Juniors and working of his offensive game, he's got a big shot and the skating. He's going to back down, be a point per game guy or higher in juniors and come back a much more complete defensemen instead of him just trying to Luke Schenn it in the professionals.

Completely agree.
Although Luke Schenn was never fast, didn't have a shot and actually sucked.
the world of wrestling is a fascinating one. - Pat1993
His career got derailed brutally by winning a fight he was assumed to lose...like a real fight. In the late 90's Vince wanted to capitalize on MMA's growing popularity by making mid to bottom card fighters fight in a boxing glove wearing MMA type match called the brawl for it all or something dumb. Anyway Bart Gunn won but wasn't supposed to, Steve Williams was assumed to be able to beat everybody and it ruined their plans for Williams vs Austin on ppv so Gunn's reward was a real boxing match and painfully brutal KO at the hands of Butterbean...and that was his career

holy poop, that's some crazy stuff. I don't know much about boxing but Butterbean seemed like the kind of guy who had a very lethal punch and could knock you the (frank) out, especially if you aren't an actual boxer/fighter.

Guy is completely insane. - Scabeh
If you have 14 seconds google the Butterbean fight. I can't believe it was legal and I'm actually curious if it was sanctioned. He probably still has lasting effects from it

Butterbean was a legit boxer at super heavyweight. Don't let the body fool you. And yeah his punches come with a well known reputation
