Buffalo Sabres‘ 2nd round pick in the 2015 draft (#51 overall) rookie defenseman Brendan Guhle(45) got his start with 6 AHL games on early reassignment to affiliate Rochester Americans.
He scored a goal and 3 assists but was returned to his junior team Prince Albert Raiders for a fourth season after a preseason injury sidelined him.
The big 6’2″ 196 lbs. blue liner was traded early in his final campaign to Prince George Cougars but soon afterwards in what was a crazy last couple years of junior hockey was called up to the parent club on an emergency basis to play his first three NHL games.
Upon finishing up he signed an ato with the farm club and appeared in 6 more contests notching another goal and an assist.
He was an early release from training camp but started his first year in the minors getting right to work with a solid 7 goals and 13 assists in 35 games.
For his efforts he earned a recall and grabbed an assist in 2 games with 2 penalty minutes and a +2 rating.
At only 20-years old and signed through 2020 we fully expect him to earn a roster spot if not before the current calendar runs out, for the start of his sophomore season.
