2020 NHL Draft prospect profile: Noel Gunler has a lot of promise as a middle-six scorer

The rumours regarding Noel Gunler’s attitude issues are quashed even before I bring up the subject with Sweden’s coach for the Under-20s, Tomas Montén. “There wasn’t space for him on the top two lines in the Swedish team, and you want a player like Gunler to play in regards to his strength, not in a shutdown role further down the lineup. We had two young players already and we were expecting reinforcements from North America, and that made Gunler’s role uncertain.”
