C Cutter Gauthier - (2022, 5th, PHI; traded to ANA)

[Arthur Morgan]

Stop making up first names, people.

for that im going to name my son Wires

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

He’s going to go 3

Realistically top 5 if not top 7, Don't see him going top 3.

I mean, we are talking about the team that spent a top-5 pick on Barrett Hayton.

 

[bsu]

He is overrated at this point. Not saying he won't be a NHLer but taking him at or even near #3? Thank god the Ducks ain't picking #3. He should be in the #10-#15 area IMO.

Fair enough, would be stupid to pick him before Cooley though. Gauthier doesn't have motor or skills to be that high. And he propably play just wing position at pro's.

Are folks just suspecting that there is some wishful thinking about a big player, or do they have real arguments against the idea that Gauthier can play center?

According to Mitch Brown, Gauthier is the top transition player on the team, he's already taking a lot of faceoffs and winning them, and I think he's strong defensively. He's not a top playmaker but you can pair him with a playmaking wing. This is what a center looks like. I watched PLD develop and Gauthier is just like PLD was, except Gauthier is more experienced and capable as a center.

Sam Cosentino has Gauthier going 3rd to Arizona...

Which player will go No. 1 overall? Where will the first curve ball happen that shakes up the draft order? Sam Cosentino presents his 2022 NHL mock draft, where he predicts how Round 1 will unfold.

The same clueless one that had Detroit taking Cole Perfetti at #6, Half of the time this guy doesn't know what he's talking about.

Too many people who haven't paid any attention to these guys until the past couple of weeks and then formed a quick opinion from a paragraph on a mock draft.

I think he turns into a Scheifele type player.

Welcome to Philadelphia

 

[William H Bonney]

I've followed him for 2 years and have some question marks but I'm glad Philly is planning to put him at center, which is his best spot.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Him and Philly were a match made in heaven. Not too surprising.

[Jabba11]

I like this guy for Philly. Will be very fun to see him play for the Flyers and see him succeed.

Reminder, his favorite player is Sidney Crosby. Cheers Flyers fans hahahaha

 

[Nabrules]

Interesting how a bunch of flyers beat writers and people really tuned in with team saying Gauthier would’ve been their pick even if Wright was available

 

[SI90]

This kid is the real deal. Philly did good.

Do you know who reported this? I'd like to see it myself.

Not even the Flyers could have been that brain-dead.

 

[Nabrules]

Do you know who reported this? I'd like to see it myself.

Anthony D’marco and Charlie O’Connor both stated they know Philly wasn’t high on Wright and “weren’t sure they’d pick him if he fell to 5”.

The big one was Anthony San Filippo who used to work for the team and has many connections. He outright said on his pod, according to people he’s talked to within the organization, they’d have pick Gauthier even if Wright was there too.

Not even the Flyers could have been that brain-dead.

Guess we’ll find out how good Wright really is as time goes by. I had him 3rd overall personally.

Interestingly they have Zayde Wisdom so I’m sure they do a bunch of Wright watching Kingston

I had Wright just ahead of Gauthier, 5th vs 6th. I think it's a reasonable opinion to have Gauthier ahead.

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

Great pick for Philly. You got a good one here.

 

[De Montreal]

Reading this thread with all the positives is a welcome change of tone, because reading the Flyers board thread on him is the complete opposite.

Flyers fans are convinced he's a bust and their GM drafted him only because he can hit a golf ball with life and right hand.

 

[bsu]

Realistic upside: Mark Scheifele
