Now it was clear he was a LW. This is our "Expected by whom?" moment.

If I remember correctly, the question with Gauither was always whether he'd remain at center or have to play LW. What made him a "safe" pick was his floor was probably a 30 goal LW.

I think one reason the Flyers weren't desperate to sign him after his freshman year was he didn't show a lot at center and without a big jump, was going to play LW in the NHL. He definitely needed the 2nd year in college and would probably have sulked if sent to the AHL.
