Trade you!
Jets do it HARDCORE...it isn't "normal"; most teams actually don't want to do it unless absolutely necessary or they feel the player has shown that he is ready...the Flyers felt that he wasn't ready for The Show and it could hurt his development if he was brought up too soon, not to mention they wanted to keep that extra year of control, both sound reasons not to do it...Gauthier (and his Dad) threw a fit and refused to sign...it was a spoiled brat move, nothing more...
