I thought he played well, made a couple really smooth plays

He can shoot too, made Rask make some tough saves

The play on Krejci was awesome!

He was good for a 12 year old, needs another couple years of seasoning.

This first game was very good considering, but lets not jump the gun here. I am for giving him another 8 games and seeing some more. I think he earned that yesterday.

I agree with the above 2 posts. I thought he looked pretty good -- smooth, good decisions, very good skater. Top-4 potential.

 

2 glaring errors:  (1) he got tied up with Lehner in the first period.  They were both out of commission for about 4-5 seconds; (2) he turned over a puck in the third.  And then that beautiful defensive play, also in the third.  

 

All in all, not a bad debut.

He reminds me a lot of Fowler when he came into the league as a fast skating skinny kid.

Except he's apparently not skinny anymore. I read he bulked up a lot since we picked him.

That baby face is deceiving.

 

I also see why Murray likes him - kid is an NHL skater already.

Difference between him and Nelson was striking.

They are both pretty skaters, but in one game Guhle showed a better grasp of NHL speed and power.

Not exactly the same player, but he may have the skill set to mature into a McKee or Lydman type role.

Slow down everyone. Let's see what he looks like next year and how he adapts. Once teams know how to play against that could change things. We've seen countless defenders look good in short spurts. Myers, Nelson, MAG. Let's not build him into anything yet.

Agreed. But we need something to talk about.

 

He still looks skinny to me, anybody know what he weighed in at camp?

 

I really hope he goes back to junior (he's on a top team now) but if he continues to play well, we may not have a choice.

I think he has to go back? Emergency recall and all. Besides, Murray should send him back and save a contact year.

He's definitely going back

 

Agreed.  Use his 9 games as they can... and then if nothing improves, call up a F and have them skate D.  No way you burn a year if the team is suffering massive injuries..

How far off is D-Lo?  He can play D.
