Gauthier fits the role of defensive/FO guy that winning teams need and the type of guy you want on the ice in a tie or 1 goal (lead) game.
I have Monahan, Laughton, Gauthier and Petan as centers right now with McDavid as extra forward. I moved Horvat to the wing because Gauthier is a better F/O (by reports) and defensively.

You are correct. That said it is tough not to route for the kid. Personally I hope he earns a shift.
