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

[Sheppy]

Holy shit…

 

[LevelingSolo]

Well that's out of the blue

 

[VanillaCoke]

Wow really like it for the Ducks

 

[Mr Rogers]

Yes but the Ducks have lots of forwards and not much on D

It's more the opposite honestly

 

[Mrfenn92]

Wow. That’s all.

 

[Seachd]

I was here for the Drysdale/Gauthier trade, 2024

 

[deleted user]

Holy crap. Not a bad return. I like it for both.

 

[bl02]

Weird why would Philly do this?

 

[Garry Valk]

Oh my god, a real trade. I don’t know how to react.

 

[Leonardo87]

Yes but the Ducks have lots of forwards and not much on D

Actually they need forward depth in their system, their D prospect depth is like Top in the league.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Wait what does he have against Philly?

 

[SI90]

I mean I don’t see why making it public would have made a difference. I’m sure the Ducks assumed that was the case considering he was on the table.

Possibly but not 100%. Philly could have coveted Drysdale

 

[DuckDuckGetz]

Yes but the Ducks have lots of forwards and not much on D

Not sure if you're joking but we have TOO MANY prospects on D. Mintyukov, Luneau, Zellweger, etc.

 

[Taluss]

Now that's a fun trade

 

[Bone Density]

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Gonna keep Luneau up then?

 

[SI90]

Wait what does he have against Philly?

How much time do you have ?

 

[Sombastate]

Cutter didn’t want to sign with Philly. Good trade. Moved him before the word was out that he wasn’t going to sign and that would
Have lowered his value

Then they should have gotten more for a top 5-10 prospect in the entire world.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Damn surprised the ducks gave on Drysdale so quick

I saw him as Morgan Rielly 2.0

50-70 Pt player whi has great offense, skating and transition skills but suspect defense.

A low end 1D in his prime

I don't they gave up on him so much as they have a slew of defense prospects and saw an opportunity to get a solid winger.

 

[snowkiddin]

Huge trade, wow.

Have to bank that Zellweger is their Point producing PP QB Dman. Figured only one of Drysdale/Zellweger would be with the Ducks long term.

This comes off the summer where Briere didn't know why Gauthier wasn't at their summer camp.

 

[Seachd]

Why did the Ducks give up on a top 5 picked dman so early?

Technically, they didn’t.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

These kinds of trades never happen damn

 

[Breakers]

Wait what does he have against Philly?

The stench of Fletcher is still prevalent around the organization apparently.

 

[HuGort]

Gauthier was pure goal scorer with USA development team. He would look good as a Hab

Going to be so fun to hear his explanation
