I doubt he would be the top center or guy relied upon for offense but looking at how young and inexperienced the roster is I see no reason he can't make it as the 2nd line center or a guy that is the shutdown guy and gets a ton of minutes playing against the top players on other teams and PK.
Not sure how many other centers would be better options playing in key situations than him, especially with about 0 chance that MacKinnon is on the team.

The top 3 centres should be McDavid, Monahan, and Horvat. Gauthier is better than none of these players.
