In the last few hours, we have had a major transaction between the Anaheim Ducks and the Philadelphia Flyers involving the 5th overall pick Cutter Gauthier.
And well we have something new involving the Montreal Canadiens and it's very interesting. It comes from one of the best journalists covering the Flyers.
"I heard a rumor they quietly shopped Gauthier back at the draft, & it was one of the things I was chasing today.
Can now confirm yes, Gauthier was shopped. They tried to swap him for the No. 5 pick, presumably to take David Reinbacher & ensure Michkov got to 7 too. MTL passed».
WOW! So the Flyers offered this to the Habs.
TO PHILADELPHIA:
5th overall pick - David Reinbacher
TO MONTREAL:
Cutter Gauthier
Would you have accepted?
Gauthier, a 5th overall pick in 2022, has 23 points in 17 games this season in the NCAA at Boston College. (with Jacob Fowler)
He has just been traded for Jamie Drysdale and a 2nd round pick.
