A friend of mine just let me know that apprently cutter wouldn’t meet with the flyers to look at signing. Doesn’t want to play in Philly. They had to trade him. Just what he’s heard.
- Hextall271

Watch him pull a fox like move and wait to go pick what team he wants to play for.

Now we have to wonder what his beef was with playing here

Seravalli reported that Gauthier didn't want to play in Philadelphia.

Took him over a year to realize he didn't want to be here?

He's a brilliant skater, capable of quarterbacking a power play with ease and generating results both ways through the neutral zone. More of a playmaker than a shooter, Drysdale is adaptable first and foremost. He's going to make the best decision regardless, no matter the situation. He's the only defenceman in this year's draft with clear No. 1 defenceman upside. -EliteProspects 2020 NHL Draft Guide

Flyers traded Guathier….unbelievable.
- landros 2

I can't say I'm surprised. I posted here days ago that Gauthier didn't look like the best player at BC this year, Smith and Leonard were better, and I was not convinced he was going to be the goal scorer in the NHL as hoped. Again, I not saying he is a bad player by any means, he's still a very, very good prospect. But you have to give up something to get something.

The Flyers do fill a huge need, a true RHS potential number 1 defenseman, as elite prospects says:

Keith Jones has stated he thinks getting a number 1 defenseman is the most important position, and at the time Gauthier was drafted, there was some debate that the Flyers should have drafted Jiricek instead of Gauthier. Hopefully Shaw can work his magic with this kid.

Can you blame guy who is all offense not wanting to play for torts? if true should be an eye opener.

Cutter must’ve said he would not sign with the flyers?

He didn't want to deal with Torts
- Bob Habib


Haha you beat me to it! Or maybe Torts didn't like Cutter and manipulated DB and co into making the trade? Maybe Cutter doesn't block enough shots or something.

I was always a jricek fan. You don't pass over future top pairing RHD.

But about Drysdale... hasn't he struggled in anaheim?

That makes more sense. And didn’t he refuse to show up to camp too? And it was spun as “normal”?
- funmaster18


Guess it wasn’t that normal after all…..f him.

I can’t believe this. On the surface, this looks like a terrible trade.
- Hextall271


Why? We have to look at this and digest it. Talking about a RH shot defenseman that was drafted 6th overall.

As of this time, I’m not loving this trade. I guess that 2nd will be a high 2nd. Watch cutter will be the next Crosby.
