BrooksBurner Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 A young Kreider is a really good comparison. Some great tools, but lacks the brain. He will look completely lost at times. This will all come down to how Quinn uses him, and if he's able to make mistakes and continue to get ice time. Maybe his mistakes will be labelled good intentions, like Howden's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooksBurner Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Super simple. "Hey new guy, skate to the net real fast and pay attention. #10 will put it on your tape." Would be so nice to get someone capable of scoring goals playing next to Panarin. Here's to hoping Gauthier can be that guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYR2711 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 The only thing that concerns me is his lack of playing in the NHL. Hoping he can play here, but I don’t understand if he is regarded as highly as he is, why he wasnt given a shot at playing some in the NHL.

Albatrosss Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Sounds like the jury is out on his defensive soundness. I think that is one area where I'm confident that Quinn will hold his feet to the fire and make him do his work - at penalty of le Bin du Quinn.

Dunny Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 They've been reasonably tight defensively for the past month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangersIn7 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 The only thing that concerns me is his lack of playing in the NHL. Hoping he can play here, but I don’t understand if he is regarded as highly as he is, why he wasnt given a shot at playing some in the NHL. I’m a little puzzled and concerned about that too, especially given Carolina’s need for scoring beyond their top line. Obviously that group has been outstanding, and Necas has had a nice year as a rookie. But the group of forwards behind them, namely Staal, Dzingel, Niedereiter, Haula, Foegele, and Williams have not been great. The first 3 names in that group have been downright disappointing. You just would figure that with this kid scoring prolifically in the A that they’d want to bring him up and see if he can contribute some, or at least put the squeeze on those underperforming vets. That concerns me. His D concerns me. If he’s not a top-6, can he play enough D to be on a third line? Even in a faster more scoring-centric league, you still need that 3rd line to be defensively competent and physical. They still will draw checking assignments. But I still like the trade and I’m excited to see him play . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LONG LONG LONG TIME FAN Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I like the move a lot. Sell high on Keane especially when you don't really have much of a place for him. Gauthier is the ideal player to fill the Kreider void. Has the guy played one single game in the NHL? Answer? A resounding NO! Now he steps in for Kreider. comical.

RodrigueGabriel Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 It's probably worth noting that he was part of the Checkers team that romped and stomped to the Calder Cup last spring. Had 5G, 3A in 17 games. Turns out he's from a line of professional wrestlers and bodybuilders. This is his pre-draft puff video. Pretty goofy.

The Dude Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 What? He's on an ELC, 22 years old, and 5 NHL games. Says up in the Pronman quote that there's an impending issue. Did he sign early. Drafted in 16... 3 years ago. 2 full AHL seasons under his belt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew a Penalty Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Says up in the Pronman quote that there's an impending issue. Did he sign early. Drafted in 16... 3 years ago. 2 full AHL seasons under his belt. He signed at 19 which means he'd be waiver eligible either four years after signing the contract or after 160 NHL games played. His contract slid during 2016-17 when he still played junior but for waivers that counts as a year under contract. This year counts as the fourth of four years. He's automatically eligible for waivers starting next season no matter what. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I’m still waiting for that Alexandre Daigle rookie card to skyrocket in value! Times gonna tell on that one. Well....Matt Peumpel did get a hat trick in his short time here, so there's that. It's too bad Staal didn't work out here. They kind of got him on a down year and it carried over here. I'm sure they were hoping playing with his brother would get him in a better mental state, help get his game back. It did not happen. That trade was basically a wash for both teams.
