Confirmed with Link: Flyers trade Cutter Gauthier to Anaheim for Jamie Drysdale and 2025 2nd round pick

[Rebels57]

Imagine thinking the kid is a brat because he doesn't want to come play for a shit coach on an organization that has no plan, and is banking their success on the hope that a potential Russian superstar who can't be here for what...? 3 more years? Is the savior of the team.

Give me a break. The kid was going to be in development hell here and likely ruin his future earning potential. He's not entitled. He's putting himself in a position to succeed. I'm assuming the high and mighty here are managing the local McDonald's because that's who gave you your first break, and you couldnt break that loyalty. Right?

All true but he can STILL go f*** himself.

Torts dirtbagged Hayes and they’re still paying for it.

Hayes apparently nearly convinced Farabee to demand out too.

 

[Fire Tortorella]

Briere did not say that Gauthier changed his mind multiple times. He worded it confusingly, but he said he changed it once, a few months after the draft.

Yeah I listened to the interview again - starting at 1:20 he mentions "he already changed his mind" and trails off quickly. I originally took that as "he already changed his mind again" rather than the initial "changing of his mind" shortly after the draft.

LOL oh my god



Fletcher's moves just keep rippling, like the shockwave from a bowling ball thrown into a water treatment pool

Southern Cal has the weirdest cheesesteaks. They're completely encased in a very thin bread wrapping, like a big pill. You have to swallow them like a pill. They have beans in them. It's disturbing.

I hear that its nice weather and full of milfs all the time...who wants that?

 

[Starat327]

Ill never understand the concept that a player who is drafted needs to have some sense of sincere dedication to that team for...reasons?

Much like you or me, he has his own interests in personal preferences. He's not a robot who just has to be happy that he got drafted. Only in professional sports ( and hockey on particular) is there some sort of secret blood oath taken before you walk up on the draft stage.

With Quebec absolutely , still loved him tho.

At least Quebec turned Lindros in Forsberg, Ricci and a Stanley Cup just 4 years later.

We got Drysdale and a 2nd. Oh joy.

 

[macleish1974]

I was at Duffy's eating some really good BBQ ribs. I laughed so hard I spilled my beer all over.....when one of the TVs announced it. Everyone was waiting for the Michigan/Wash. game

As, I of all people, stated does Gauthier have the will to power of the Flyers org.? I guess he does.

Drysdale........all I can think of is Don of the Dodgers....he was a good pitcher, really good. This kid?

And a 2025 draft pick, 2nd round.

Seriously . c'mon tell me it ain't so Joe.

 

[BringBackFletcher]

The salty takes about Gauthier wanting to leave is a preschooler take. Grow up

Good thing he got through to Torey Krug I guess.

 

[Gert B Frobe]

Eh, he's also a teenager. The Flyers should've realized sooner what they're dealing with.

Arguably the best player in Flyers' history refused to play for the team that drafted him.

Maybe Cutter's dad is named Carl and he'll show up at Ducks practices telling management not to let his teammates check him.

13 going on 30

Move over Jennifer Garner

And a Happy Gauthier’s Gone Day to you too, hurtful andy

St. Kevin almost saved us

 

[Curufinwe]

Someone please put Hayes’ face on the Olenna Tyrell meme.

 

[Starat327]

Yeah, tell me one thing thats better about Southern California then Philly??!

As a former resident... how much time ya got?

 

[EXTRAS]

There are others they could have cleared to fix the log jam. It raises eyebrows that Drysdale was what they cleared with his injury history.

Others wouldn't have returned gauthier...

 

[Magua]

The only way this story is meant to end is with Tortorella scratching Drysdale and not liking him. Only then would I believe in a higher power.

 

[Beef Invictus]

No hysterics on my part, but it’s objectively embarrassing that the Coyotes got Cooley signed and the Flyers had to trade Gauthier.

They play in a college gym!

 

[Flybynite]

Torts dirtbagged Hayes and they’re still paying for it.

Hayes prob got an extra $10m to $15m for his inconveniences tho.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I really wish they had gotten a first-rounder back. Or fired Torts. Or something.

Either way, it's pretty crazy that Lindros will be starting out in Anaheim this time.

 

[Beef Invictus]

I hear that its nice weather and full of milfs all the time...who wants that?

When you live there you have to have one plastic surgery per week. Imagine the inconvenience.

 

[flyershockey]

On the one hand, f*** the kid for not even hearing out the plan from the team that drafted him. But on the other hand, good for him. I wish more players would take a hard-lined approach towards organizations that have pretty terrible tack records. Maybe then the NHL wouldn't be run largely by an old boys club that continually rotates in proven failures from other organizations.

Edit: Also comical that a team that is supposedly rebuilding would take back a player on his second contract instead of opting for more picks. Rebuild... right...

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Does Charlie still think Gauthier has 112 goal potential or did the narrative change?

 

[Tripod]

Just heard the news. I am shocked.

Now why would he not want to sign in Philly? Let's think about that.

( insert Windy gif)

Loyalty is good and all but sometimes it bites you in the butt.
