Gauthier is huge, and can really skate, but he doesn't use his size nearly enough, and hasn't shown even a sliver of the potential that made him a first-rounder. Maybe somebody somewhere can unlock that toolbox, and make him a decent bottom-6 checker. He's gotta play a much more physical brand of hockey, though.
I still have faith in Giorgiev, and I think he'll rebound in a new situation.
