RW Julien Gauthier (2016, 21st, CAR; traded to NYR)

[Adonis Creed]

Only reason he might make team Canada his because he played better than those 7 4th liners HC invited to camp from other league.

Has made team Canada and hopefully they use him in a big role.

 

[Mad Brills*]

top 15 pick?

easily. Top 10 with a slight chance to crack top 5 depending on team preference.

Yeah he's a lock for the top 10, I personnaly have him in the 6-8 range, behind Matthews, Chychrun, Tkachuk, Laine and Puljujarvi. He could even get picked ahead of Puljujarvi when june comes IMO!

Will be interesting who is first drafted out of the q between Gauthier and Dubois. Both very talented players.

Does Gauthier ever play centre? Seems like he has a lot more run support than Dubois and that has to play into the debate. Looks like a fantastic prospect by all accounts, though.


Both are rangy guys but I could see Dubois being valued very highly by some teams...a big, rangy centre who is a leader and plays both ways. The dream for a middling team..

I agree, Dubois is a fantastic prospect that doesn't get as much talk on here as he should. He's the same level of prospect as Mcleod in the OHL I think, but playing on Cape Breton he doesn`t get the same exposure. Gauthier to my knowledge doesn`t play center, but his game is a winger`s game through and through.

 

[SRBisles]

Dubois played all 3 forward positions for Canada at the under 18's. Will be very valuable to whoever takes him due to his versatilty. Gauthier is a pure winger who I'm pretty sure doesn't play center and is scoring at nearly a GPG pace in the Q. Both are top 10 picks come June in my eyes.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

First time watching him play. Yeah, should be a top ten pick, really good prospect.

 

[MardyBum]

Super impressed by him. Didn't look like a draft eligible player out there.

 

[Backhandshelf81]

Certain comment(s) on this page are kind of funny now, lol.

 

[Our Lady Peace]

First time watching him as well. Very good player. I never actually believed he was THAT good. He's a top 10 pick, absolutely.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

He's a top 10 pick, absolutely.

I think he's a top ten talent, but the problem is that there's about 20 top ten talents in this draft. Its a really good draft.

Good point. I hope teams have more sense to pick a guy like Gauthier over Logan Brown for example.

One hell of a prospect. Teams are probably drooling over this guys skill set and size. He has been noticable right from the start of pre tournament. I wouldn't hesitate to say he might crack the top 5 much like Johansen did in 2010.

Timing has been a little off but he's playing through the flu. They've got him quarantined in the dressing room.

He's looked very good and deserves more ice time imo
