THIS.
Did you listen to it yourself? It's exactly what he said. Gauthier wanted to sign with the Flyers at the end of 22-23 but the Flyers refused because they didn't want to accrue a bonus overage. Perfectly reasonable for a 5th overall pick who put up a great freshman season at BC to be insulted by this but Flyers PR is now trying to paint him as some spoiled entitled brat.
Maybe in the middle of the world juniors a a team chasing gold, he didn’t want to get in a distracting meeting
No, he has to play 10 games last year (which he could have) to burn the ELC year. They can't burn a year retroactively. So, I don't know how you think they could decide to burn a year at training camp.
Wrong. He showed up to development camp prior to the 22-23 season. It was the development camp prior to the 23-24 season, i.e. after the Flyers refused to sign him, that he skipped.
He was at the 2022 development camp. He didn't show up to the 2023 one because by then he had requested a trade.
Just because they stayed two years in college, why should that mean Gauthier has to? One of those years for Quinn Hughes was before he was drafted.
This has already been debunked. Flyers wanted to sign Gauthier, he did want to sign with them and wanted to return to BC. He informed them later on, via phone, that he did not want to play for the organization when they were expecting him to call to discuss signing.
Why pretend to be Devils fan if all you're going to do is make lame excuses for the failures of Flyers management?
The Flyers burnt a year of Lyon's ELC without him playing a game

That is incorrect; Luke Hughes played two games and had a year burned before he touched NHL ice
Ducks are dealing from a position of strength, but maybe they also think Drysdale is a Band-Aid?
He wasn't a teenager. Contracts 'slide' in a players 18 or 19 year should they play 9 games or fewerThe Flyers burnt a year of Lyon's ELC without him playing a game
Alex Lyon realistic about chances of making Flyers
VOORHEES, N.J. — Alex Lyon is betting on himself even though the numbers are stacked against him. When the Yale product signed a two-year contract with the Flyers in April, it instantly became a one-year deal because the team had to burn a year to land his services. So the goaltender came to the...
That's because they were signed as 20 year olds. Luke Hughes and Makar had to play just one game to burn a year. Similar to Matthew Knies for the Leafs last year. Quinn Hughes was a late birthday, so he could do it at the end of his first season after being drafted. Knies and Hughes stayed in college for 2 seasons post draft.
Again, what matters here is the age signed at. Cutter Gauthier is an U-20 player. He would burn a year after one game this year, but last year he needed to play 10 games. Clayton Keller is probably the most recent example of this creating a slide year I can think of.The Flyers burnt a year of Lyon's ELC without him playing a game

No, kid is a spoiled brat who didn't get his way and refused to talk to anyone and throw a temper tantrum
