I haven't watched him enough to really agree or disagree with those comments, but they are there. I was really high on Gauthier up until the midpoint of the season as well. Will be curious to see where he gets drafted. I wouldn't be opposed to the Flames trading up to get him, but I think there are much better players available at 6 and wouldn't want them to trade down.

It is concerning that he's 5th in scoring on his team which has no other blue chip prospects on it. If he at least equaled his assist totals last year he would probably be in the conversation with Tkachuk and Dubois.
