26CornerBlitz Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 In this case, it isn't so much being down on McCabe as it is thinking he's just not a good fit for 55. I'd rather Rasmus had a partner who's more reliable in his own end so he has a bit more leeway to join the attack with that skillset of his. I think Guhle is a lot like Risto in that regard, so he's not the right guy IMO even though he's a lefty. He also needs to get bigger and stronger to bring a more physical element.

He also needs to get bigger and stronger to bring a more physical element. So looking ahead a bit we might end up seeing Kulikov/Ristolainen and Guhle/Bogosian as the Top 4. If we're ever healthy and a couple guys like Fasching and Nylander pan out, we're going to be a giant pain in everybody's ass by next season.
