Confirmed Trade: [ANA/PHI] Cutter Gauthier for Jamie Drysdale and 2025 2nd round pick

[LuGBuG]

I really like Drysdale and think he will be great for Philly. Anyone who thinks otherwise either hasn’t watched him play or hates Philly so they will automatically trash him. You got a good one Flyers fans.

I will say though the more I read and look into this the more I like it. He could be exactly what Anaheim needs. His style should fit perfectly with our new core.

As a Sharks fan, this trade makes me sad. Where was GMMG when such player was available?

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

Hayes cashed in on a contract year, just like that bum Darren Waller

Maybe SJS weren't one of the 18-20 teams he reportedly would sign with?

Waller stinks way more

Good job by Briere in cutting his losses and moving on.

Gauthier is an excellent prospect, but the players are so young that it will take years to evaluate this trade.

Screw him if he doesn't want to play in Philly. He didn't choose to be there and he doesn't owe the Flyers anything, but if he's made up his mind then it's best to move on.

Excellent return for a distress sale.

This is getting out of hand lol now they’re blaming Kevin Hayes who says that’s bullshit.

Get your popcorn

Anaheim trades from a postion of strength (d prospect pool) and Philly saves the day by getting a valuable piece for a player that wanted out. This is what a win win looks like.

Waller stinks way more

Can't block, can't catch, always 'injured', he played his ass off for 3 years which got him a fat ass contract then dipped.

just a straight ass bum

I'm absolutely here for the Hayes drama this is f***ing hilarious.

With how connected the Hayes family is in Boston it wouldn't surprised me, and with how the Flyers treated him I don't blame him at all tbh

What player on Drysdale's level/fit could the Sharks have offered? Lol

The Flyers didn't treat Hayes badly, Torts just refused to put up with what a lazy bum he is.

 

[GreeningOil]

That young ANA forward core is insane

Insanely mediocre

 

[Oddbob]

Gauthier sounds like a bit of a dick. Briere and Jones were in Sweden to talk/meet with him and he refused to even talk with them.

 

[PanniniClaus]

So it's all Kevin Hayes Fault.

speaking of Fraud's...

The shark match the offer with a recent sixth overall pick of their own… Filip Zadina?

If people believe that’s your rep though, perception becomes reality.

Kevin Hayes also wanted a buyout, which wasn’t necessarily his right to get, but he wasn’t happy and people talk. Especially him.

He came through when you most expected it

Ducks got destroyed in this trade.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Basically a swap of high 1st round picks two years apart and a 2025 2nd for the Flyers.

Jamie Drysdale is still only 21 years old just needs to gain strength.

Drysdale can skate with the puck which is exactly what the Flyers need, has good iq without the puck as well.

Philly tried to trade Gauthier for #5 OA.

Montreal said no.

And yet, when I'd suggested Gauthier might be on the table for Philly to trade up, I got my head handed to me...

Look for Flyers to hate and vilify this kid every stage of his career no matter where it goes from here. I asked 76er fans on a basketball board why they continued to have such an obsessive hatred with Ben Simmons years later and multiple replied with things to the nature of “we supported him, we defended him and made so many excuses when he refused to improve his shooting. And then for him to ask for a trade after all that? Eff him. I will boo him forever.”

Nobody thinks they’re owed something or does the jilted ex-lover routine quite like Philly sports fan. But sure, go ahead and direct all sorts of hate towards a teenage hockey player
