Even if Gauthier never pans out, the could have traded him for a much more useful asset than Drysdale. Just poor asset management like always.

They just had to let bumbling Bob Murray get into their ear about Drysdale. If there was ever a GM to not trust about young defensemen evaluation it should have him been him. He traded Theodore to Vegas in the expansion draft then traded Montour to Buffalo.

If they traded Gauthier as rumored for Rossi, then drafted Buium, the future would be very much brighter.

They'd have a 1C, 1D and 1G base, even if Rossi is small. They could have flipped TK for a mid 1st+ and still gotten Luchanko if they loved him.

Suddenly, you have tons of cap space, tons of picks, key positions covered (1C, 2C, 1D, 2D (York), 1G) all in system and just wait until they develop.

yea well sometimes life doesnt work out that way. it's not like it's his JOB to care about maximizing the talent of the franchise and ensuring they have the best possible chance of winning the cup so they can sell out WFC every night.

Minnesota Wild Wanted Cutter Gauthier in Flyers Trade

If not the Anaheim Ducks, who else would the Philadelphia Flyers trade with? Apparently, the Minnesota Wild were in hot pursuit of former Flyers prospect Cutter Gauthier.

However, no details of what an actual trade would look like.

This may be one reason the Flyers would have been wary:

"Rossi is an inspirational, feel-good story. He missed an entire season a few years back with a potentially serious heart condition stemming from COVID-19."

Given that Rossi had a hot start last season, doubt Minnesota would have traded him straight up in January. Could have got him in the summer of 2023 coming off 19g 0-1 1 in 2022-23.
Oct-Dec 35g 11-11 22 +9
Jan-May 47g 10-8 18 -13

Stamina will remain a question for an undersized center with some health questions until proven otherwise.

This just further shows how half baked their plan of putting all their eggs into the Gauthier & Michkov basket was.

Let's please take a moment to recall how late into this process they were still pushing this idea, and how since then they've done nothing to reset after having their plan (which was always sketchy) blown out of the water more elaborately than the Germans did to Beatty's squadron at Jutland. Just shrugged and carried on with their not-rebuild that also isn't a re-tool.

Dont forget pundits were saying gauthier had 50 goal scoring top line center potential.

Either way they managed to squeeze a 2nd round pick and dman who is worse than seeler out of him.
