The Conciliator
I am still amazed that Cutter Gauthier wanted nothing to do with a franchise that appears a very popular destination for good players.
If Friedman's reporting of the sequence of events is right, they refused to sign Gauthier at the end of the 2022-2023 season, just as Brière became interim GM. They didn't want to burn a year of his ELC and incur cap overage for the 2023-2024 season. A short-sighted decision with enormous consequences.
