The Montreal Canadiens selected Kaiden Guhle in the first round but does he fill a need?

The Montreal Canadiens selected Kaiden Guhle with the 16th overall pick in the first round of the NHL Draft last night.

Guhle is a big, physical defenceman who skates well and can chip in offensively. He is a left shot and will play a big role for the Prince Albert Raiders this season.

He played well for the Raiders last season, scoring 11 goals and 40 points in 64 games.
