- I think Mantha is a good pick and I have suggested him before but after reading Button's comments on Morin from the U18 tournament, I think we should grab him. A 6'7 Dman ""that can skate, that are tough physically, that are rugged, that can make a play with the puck" sounds like something the Flames could really use.

I have heard from some that Gauthier is over-rated. He is just big, that's all. So I decided to check out as much highlights as I could on this guy and I got to say that I was not at all impressed. He did not at all look like he had any offensive instinct to him and didn't look like he had a good hockey IQ~ I know it's just highlights etc that I saw, but from what I saw, I was not impressed at all and I don't think we should rate someone over a guy with real talent like Rychel cause he is big- no matter where Gauthier is rated IMO.
