Montreal Canadiens: Huge contract extension for Kaiden Guhle?

It goes without saying that agents often use player comparables to negotiate contracts for their clients. Yesterday, Pierre Dorion offered defenseman Jake Sanderson the moon with an eight-year, $8.05-million-a-year deal.

Sanderson happens to be very closely compared to Kaiden Guhle. Both defensemen are 21 years old and score 0.42 and 0.41 points per game respectively, in addition to being very solid defensively. They are very important to their teams.

There are still two seasons left on the CH number 21's entry-level contract, so it's far from impossible that he'll sign a similar, or perhaps more lucrative, pact in two years' time. Let me tell you, his agent must have been very happy to see Sanderson's new contract in Ottawa.

Now it remains to be seen whether Kent Hughes will agree to pay him more than Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield. Or if Guhle will agree to be paid a little less.
