Forgot about this dude. Looks like he's achieved bust status.

I feel like every bottom feeder in the league should put in a claim for an “All Tools, No Toolbox” player like Gauthier.

If a guy with his size, speed and shot happens to go on a PDO bender, you could probably flip him for a fourth round pick at the deadline.

Finally got in a game last night and looked...even worse than usual.

in his D-1 and D years it really looked like he was going to develop into a mainstay powerforward

Are there any true powerforwards left?

Hard to say. Guys like Tuch, Kreider, Greenway and Wilson etc. probably still fit that mold, but they play with more finesse and timing than the traditional “drive the net with two defensemen slashing your hip” power forwards of the past.

Gauthier is one of those guys that gets fans excited for what he could be but never produces to justify the excitement.

I hope Gauthier gets claimed, because ever since Roy has arrived he's been given zero leash.
