Frédérik Gauthier

[613Leafer]

I'd be happy with a line of Broll, Gauthier and Biggs as opposed to Orr, McClement, McLaren....

Short-term we already have several options in guys like Winnik, Ashton, Frattin, Santorelli, Holland, etc. Don't think we at all need Gauthier/Biggs up this season to address the 4th line.

JVR-Bozak-Kessel
Lupul-Kadri-Booth
Komarov-Kontiola-Clarkson
Winnik-Santorelli-Frattin

Extras: Ashton, Holland, Orr, Bodie, etc.

A 5th line of Ashton-Holland-Bodie if you will. Heck, a 6th line of Leivo-Mckegg-Nylander possibly.

Gauthier/Biggs have zero chance. In terms of them long term? I'd be surprised if either was still with this organization in 3 years tine.

I was thinking of that also.

Gauthier/Biggs/Broll

or Gauthier/Biggs/Devane

Maybe Gauthier/Biggs/Komarov

 

[The Winter Soldier]

The more I think about it.

The Gauthier, Biggs, Komarov line has a good ring to it.

Like the composition of this line.

If Gauthier can't pick up some footspeed in his game soon, he probably won't ever make it.... I really liked his effort in the defensive zone in the Chi game, and I think he has a very high hockey IQ... He actually tries putting his whole body in the way of shots...He attempted to block a shot from the point with an outstretched hand...you gotta like that type of hustle. But with that being said, in the offensive zone, he looks completely out of place and behind the play, always a step too late.

 

[GordieHoweHatTrick]

Meh, no real expectations for these two. Gauthier will probably make the NHL as a 4th liner - his two-way game is impressive but I don't anticipate he will ever develop an offensive game.

Grinders for life.

 

[p.l.f.]

Gauthier got hurt ?

 

[SprDaVE]

Gauthier got hurt ?

Upper body, not considered serious, more precautionary.

The KGB line.

 

[Menzinger]

Gauthier certainly shouldn't be written off yet: but he's at a point where he should start to see improvement in his play and stats if we expect him to make it to the top six.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Gauthier reported as out with a back ailment.

 

[LeafSteel]

No need to rush either. Send Gauthier back to Junior and let Biggs head to the Marlies. It is best for them, and best for the Leafs long term.

[Bullseye]

Gauthier reported as out with a back ailment.

from carrying the team?

 

[Bullseye]

Left the summer series with an injury - left the rookie tournament with an injury - same injury re-aggravated? Too early to call him injury-prone especially if he tweaked the same thing again.
