The NHL is the toughest league in the world to play in, so for some just being drafted is their dream come true. But being drafted is just the first step of many. When Brendan Guhle was drafted in the 2nd round by the Sabres he had huge aspirations.
Since the trade, he primarily played for San Diego in the AHL and played 42 games with Anaheim. Injuries derailed his progress with both the Sabres and Ducks organizations. He had three goals and four assists in 37 games with San Diego last season and did not register a point in six NHL games.
