Wow, 83 votes so far, not a single “No”.

Well done gorton haha.

 

[NYR Viper]

It certainly was something to use in response to people on Twitter always looking for size over anything else

That's exactly why I posted that info yesterday as well. I thought it was an apt comparison and just a bit of data to show bigger forwards can take some time.

 

[B17 Apricots]

I watched a couple of YouTube highlights of his and not sure I got a Wheeler feel from his highlights tho your not far off at all, it was more of a Rick Nash type of feel tho that's pretty close to Wheeler so maybe we are on the same wave length...lol

I saw some physicality in a few highlights and he seems to be filled out already and a big ass dude. I dunno, it seems like on paper an excellent gamble by Gorton to see if we can strike some gold and hopefully filling a pretty obvious need of ours.

Very much looking forward to watching Gautier play tonight vs the Hawks and than his former team the Canes. I haven't read all of this thread...any thoughts on what line he might play on tonight?

I think I'd like to see how he plays with Lemieux and Chytil as I think those two might be a good combo to start with for Gautier....ya think?

If this kids a finisher I hope they just throw him right in there with the ultimate set up man. Take Fast's spot on Panarin's line

Has this ever happened on HFNYR ... this may be the apocalypse. Pack your shit folks!

 

[UnSandvich]

I voted for "I don't know". Solely so that i can either say i told you so or celebrate depending on how it works out. 200 IQ plays.

Good story, Good family, he's worked real hard to get where he is only to be logjammed in the Canes system. Unfortunate, but maybe everything happens for a reason. Hopefully this trade opens the door to a successful NHL career and he takes the opportunity and runs with it.

I do wanna see him put with Bread but I cringe at the idea of moving Fast away from that line. Someone has to cover for Strome’s complete lack of a defensive game and a 22 year old with a suspect defensive game won’t exactly help.

What's your Twitter handle? I would credit you if I knew. And what is yardmaster?

Talk about an autocorrect fail ha

 

[kovazub94]

And if he doesn’t have much of a shot of playing in the NHL for the Rangers, how was his value ever going to get any higher than it is right now?

Exactly! Even if someone subjectivity thinks Keane could’ve become a better asset - how would this increase in value could be realized with the Rangers RD depth?

The only way it’s reasonable to move 60-point ADA is for similarly young, cost controlled 80+ point forward. Any lesser option and I’m fully supporting taking a chance on Gauthier at a cost of Keane.

Good trade for the rangers. As many have said, you make a move from a position of strength to onw of weakness.

You get a big body RH shooting winger that can score. There aren't too many players with Gauthier's skill set and physical attributes in the NHL.

I saw a couple of Checkers game when I was in Charlotte, and the player who stuck out to me the most was Wallmark. This was a while back, but Gauthier stuck out because the guy is huge. Just a monster aircraft carrier that the team was looking for.

It's a really good trade for the Rangers. You need to ice a team that is predominantly 22-29 in this league imo. Enough experience, physical maturity, and strong skating legs.

If Gauthier can check, then he will be a very solid NHLer.

This kid is 4th in the AHL in points, he is near the top in almost every AHL stat, he's ready for the NHL and we barely gave up anything, EMBRYO LIKES IT!!! LETS GO RANGERS!!!1

 

[Hockey Gamer]

Michael Augello from the Eklund podcast was singing the praises of Gauthier yesterday and thinks that the Rangers made a great move. He was surprised that the Canes dealt Gauthier (FWIW).

 

[Embryo]

A 22-year old who played 5 games in the NHL for Keane.

Just what we needed.

He is NHL ready, he was tearing it up in the AHL, did you look at his stats?

 

[DutchNYR]

I forgot to add the word ‘already’, sincd I am pretty glad about this trade. We need NHL-ready forwards like I need a holiday.

 

[Embryo]

Krieder still a Ranger, this is torture!!! I hope we can keep him. It would just make winning a Cup so much better if we had him through all of this. All the way back to the 2012 ECF when he scored in Game 1.

Seems as if most Canes fans are surprised they moved Gaut for Keane.. who does nothing for them right now with Hamilton hurt and they have just as bad a logjam as we do on defense.

This trade makes zero sense for Carolina

 

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

He's on the ice in Chicago. Guess he's playing tonight.....?

 

[Crease]

Someone's gonna have to come out. Kreider, Buch, Panarin, Fast, Kakko, Di Guiseppe, Lemieux, McKegg/Howden.

Either of Kreider, McKegg, or Howden would work for me.

The former for a drastically different reason, obviously.

Hey, maybe we'll get lucky and Howden will be included in the Kreider trade

Yeah I think Vince said yesterday the plan was to put him right into the lineup.

 

[Harbour Dog]

Kreider + Howden + our 2021 2nd rounder for Newhook.

Sign me up.
