I hope we sign that dude.

Me too. Then in three years, we can replace him with a younger version of himself. Thats the vibe I'm getting off this Gotch-something-French kid.

Our new 1c can also play Jaws in James Bond movie.

That was Button's comparison though, wasn't it?

D*ck Button?

I thought he sounded a bit like Mongo from Blazing Saddles.

THN on gauthier - no offense. No physical involvement. All defense and faceoffs.

Lets hope it comes around. Although they also quote another scout saying he has enough creativity to provide enough 2ndary scoring.

Perfect no physical involvement

So Gillis managed to make two people unhappy today with 1 trade...... amazing

I don't get where this no offense bs is coming from, his stats speak for themselves. He doesn't have enough of an edge though at this point.

But who's going to take the 3rd line RW spot now that Clutterbuck is an Islander?

He made Uncle Lou very happy though.

Habs take a goon!

Finally someone with a brain chimes in. The kid has offense and is said to be great i his own end too. I think this is the pick that Nonis wanted and we'll like the kid when he comes up.

Here's his profile from nhl: http://www.nhl.com/ice/dr...pectdetail.htm?dpid=78285

Time to rape the Islanders for Ryan Strome.......come on Nonis!

Habs take a goon!

They need to get tougher to help Galche and Galagher out so this kid is perfect for them.

More I hear the worse this pick sounds. Hope he can develop into something useful but I don't think we see him for at least three years anyways.

Hockeysfuture analysis:

Already a polished prospect, Gauthier combines great size with a mature game at both ends of the ice. The same on-ice vision and hockey sense that makes him a dangerous contributor at the offensive side of the game also serves him well in breaking up opposing plays in his own zone. He's strong on the cycle, skates well and uses his size to win battles. Though he may never be a top offensive threat, he has too many tools to ignore.
