For obvious reasons and due to the trade deadline, this went somewhat unnoticed, but the Canadiens received big news yesterday.

To everyone’s surprise, just minutes before 3 PM, something important was happening on the ice live from Brossard.

Kaiden Guhle was back on the ice, in full gear!

This is huge because it was completely unexpected and because he is obviously a key pillar for the Montreal Canadiens.

According to various circulating reports, some sources suggested he might not even be ready for the start of next season, while others questioned his entire career.

So, seeing him back on the ice already, in full gear, is massive.

Big news for the Montreal Canadiens with Kaiden Guhle

Check out the article by the excellent Stu Cowan on this.

 

If Guhle returns this season, it will be a huge boost.

We even have footage.

“While the Habs are on the road out West, Kaiden Guhle is here in Brossard skating.

Guhle underwent surgery to repair a torn quadriceps muscle on January 29.

It’s great to see. He’s moving pretty well.”

As mentioned earlier, this went somewhat unnoticed, but it was probably the best news of the day for the Canadiens.

In a press conference, Kent Hughes mentioned that Guhle’s return to play (or not) would likely depend on the team’s performance over the next few weeks.

“Kent Hughes is not certain that Kaiden Guhle will return to play this season.

He stated that even if he is ready toward the end of the season, they may not put him back to work if the Canadiens are out of the playoff race by then.”

That’s extra motivation for the players!

 

A situation to monitor!
