Does anything make you nod your head as much as Gauthier's Edge data showing (so far) he's 93rd percentile in top speed and 94th in burst over 22mph.......while being below the 50th percentile in total skating distance? Float much, Cutter?
Michkov has skated 41 miles compared to Gauthier's 32 in the same games played, while Michkov grades ~25th percentile in speed.
He gets into those low dangers spots very quickly and sits there while other teams are happy to let goalies glove his shots for faceoff wins.

If he’s always unstable wouldn’t that make him stable?

I didn’t say “always”. Just often enough.
Plus who knows what his kid is capable of.

A conversation about Drysdale that cited his background, draft position, NHL games played, AHL points per game, up to his current age of 22, as well as the impact his type of surgery had on other players, & pondered why he is already being written off.

It’s like the episode of Seinfeld where Kramer is doing karate in the kids class.

There’s an adult in the class with you other than the teacher? That’s a little weird. You should tell your parents.

I see we still have an unnatural obsession with a player who doesn't play for us.

We should take some consolation in the fact that someone we drafted is making so many people happy

@NateThompson44 is a bum
And didn’t want to play for us. That being said I never like the pick.

I’ll never understand the hate towards the guy for not wanting to play for an organization because that organization is incompetent. A fact that all of us know entirely too well and harp on daily.
Good on him for getting out. Maybe we’ll be next.

Be a f***in Flyer, Hollywood. And if you dont want to be, you suck at life and only bad things come your way.
Count me in. But that's being a fan. It's OK to like a player and follow their career.
It's weird as shit to be obsessed with and wish ill will on a player who never even played for us like some of these folks.

Meh. Spilted milk and all that.
He's not a Flyer, so he's dead to me.
Gauthier will have a nice career, but doubtful anything special, looking more and more like Tippett without the motor but a little more IQ.
We have TK, Michkov, Farabee, Tippett, Brink, Foerster, losing Gauthier won't make or break this team.
Don't care at this point why he didn't want to play here, hurt feelings, doesn't like the East Coast, doesn't really matter.

I get both sides of it. When you’re drafted it’s like you’re now employed by the NHL and the draft determines which department of the company you’re going to work for. You should be happy just to be employed and grateful for whichever department wanted you.
On the other hand getting drafted to the flyers right now is like being an accountant and they put you in the warehouse, that they know is going to be shuttered and outsourced next year. You’re not going to learn anything and you skills as an accountant could fade some.

Anaheim is one of the franchises that's clearly run worse than the Flyers.
They're either awful at drafting and/or development b/c their top ten picks keep coming up short.
Gauthier will probably add to that list.
