Prospect Info: Cutter Gauthier

[KelVarnsen]

Vatanen, Kase, Drysdale. Crossing my fingers they are able to keep Zellweger durable.

Should be no problem with the Ducks crack medical and training staff!!!

 

[Leonardo87]

[Leonardo87]

picked up an assist on the PP after winning the FO.

Game tied 1-1

 

[Rybread86]

Im torn, do we root for them to win this thing so he gets a title or do we want them to lose so we see him sooner?

He’s currently playing in his conference tournament. No matter how well or poorly they play in this tournament, they will be playing in the NCAA tournament. Once he gets to the NCAA tournament in a couple of weeks, then a loss will end his season.

Just put it on on my phone to see that nasty assist.

So out of our top 6 forwards of the future, 5 are set and are potential dual threats offensively. Gauthier and McTavish are shooters who can pass, Zegras/Terry/Carlsson (hopefully) are passers that can score?

Pretty much. If we got super lucky and added Celebrini in there and it's got potential to be can't miss hockey. Assuming everyone stays healthy which I know right now is a big assumption.

I’m so fing excited for this kid. I can’t believe the flyers only got back drysdale and 2nd for this kid . We’re blessed

Yeah it’s hard not to get excited about this kid. He brings what this team desperately needs now. He is a full 200 foot player, physical player, with an elite shot.

They were trying to trade him at his highest value after the WJC yet it looks like his value is about to go even higher

 

[Reveille1984]

Yeah, I have a gut feeling that this trade is going to end up becoming a big win for Anaheim. Way too soon to tell obviously and recency bias plays a part, but he fills such a huge hole in our system and is going to make us a lot tougher to play against.

I wish nothing but the best for Drysdale, and he's still barely 22 so plenty of time to turn it around. But with the development time he's missed and his size/injury history, it feels like his ceiling is slowly becoming "pretty good second pairing guy" instead of top pair dman.

 

[ohcomeonref]

I wonder how many games he'll miss next year.

 

[Leonardo87]

Hockey East Championship today @ 4:30 PT on ESPN+

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Hockey East Championship today @ 4:30 PT on ESPN+

These games have all been fun to watch this year , so much skill on both teams…. If you have espn+ I highly recommend you watch it

 

[MMC]

While I definitely think he's most likely to end up on the wing, I hope they're at least willing to try him at center next season, even if it's not until we suffer injuries

You think as a 3C? Might be a good spot for him to get his feet wet and see how he looks as a center in the NHL.

 

[Leonardo87]

BC strikes early, Gauthier with an assist.

 

[HanSolo]

Despite the score I thought BU looked more composed and dangerous. Celebrini not shy about throwing post whistle shoves.
