When a team drafts a player, especially one as high as Gauthier they have invested a lot of time and resources in following the player and coming to a decision that he would be a valuable member in their organization. To ghost them completely is pretty unprofessional by both player and agent. Flyers can't put a gun to the kid's head but at the very least they should provide an explanation of what it is about their organization that the player doesn't like if only to address any issues they may need to work on in the future when it comes to attracting players. Torts isn't going to be there forever so it would seem like a strange decision for a young player to go this far just to avoid the head coach.
