Briere:

Top prospect Cutter Gauthier traded to Ducks after refusing to sign with Flyers

The Philadelphia Flyers traded top forward prospect Cutter Gauthier to the Anaheim Ducks on Monday. In exchange, the Flyers will receive defenceman Jamie Drysdale and a second-round draft pick in 2025.

As insane as this trade is, I really don't understand why the Ducks would trade Drysdale for a forward.

Mintyukov, Luneau, Zellweger, LaCombe

As it stands, as a Sharks fan I'm not digging this trade at all

Yep, Gauthier is about the only thing standing between San Jose and a cup

I do find it funny when Briere is out there saying, "he told us after the WC he wants to be here, we don't know what changed?!" Then it comes out they basically immediately tried to trade a month later him at the draft. Have to think Gauthier wasn't too happy with that. Major spinzone out of the Flyers on this one

Also, here's the report Gauthier wanted to sign at the end of BC's season and the Flyers wouldn't guarantee burning an ELC year. This guy is really tied in at BC so I'd take this as being pretty solid

So he was butt hurt that the flyers wouldn’t burn one year of his ELC so he asked for a trade. He doesn’t come out looking great. Seems self entitled so good riddance to him if I’m a flyers fan.

As a Kings fan I love it

I don't like them filling a major need with such a high end prospect like Gauthier.
The Sharks suckitude has nothing to do with it

Is that real

lol, who’s giving this kid advice? All your Penguin fan friends and family will hate you if you play for Philly. He seems like the type who might read HF threads about him. Just in case - Cutter you are a stunad

I think there is something more to the fact of Briere saying they met with him after the WC, Gauthier said he wants to be a Flyer and then they immediately tried to trade him

This is one of those hfboards trade suggestions that rarely happens in real life.

 

[JRichard]

When you’re loaded with D prospects, you can make deals like this.

Unfortunately, the team who gets the forward, usually regrets it later on. We’ll see. Verbeek must love Gauthier.

Btw, Drysdale was horrible last night for the Ducks. Like visibly bad, which surprised me.

May i suggest on X, HockeyStats cards. Drysdale wasnt bad that game.

My instant reaction was who the hell is Gauthier and holy smokes did Philly get a good one in Drysdale. (Coming from a Kings fan)

 

[JRichard]

I’m shocked ppl r crapping on Anaheim here. Cutter is a pretty safe play for a good top 9. Drysdale didn’t really impress. It could be great for Philly but I’m not surprised ANA jumped on one of the most promising PF outside the NHL.

32 pts at 19 impressed me. Then he got 2 different injuries.

I don't think that was the quote / timeline:
1) Briere said Gauthier said AT THE DRAFT (ie...the 2022 draft) that he wanted to be a Flyer and a few months later said he didn't.
2) Briere said he tried to meet with Gauthier at the WJC and Gauthier wouldn't meet with him.
There were also reports that Flyers tried to trade him at the 2023 draft.

Philly is going to win this trade by a landslide. Circle back in 3 years. Drysdale is very good.

Ties for world juniors lead, tournament directorate best forward, media all star selection for undefeated gold medal winning USA. 5th overall pick in 2022 draft. Plays at Boston College. Pretty good prospect…

What the heck happened here?

The Flyers signed Kevin Hayes 4 1/2 years ago and are still dealing with that.
