Continuing on with our NHL draft profiles, we’re taking a look at incoming freshman Cutter Gauthier!
Gauthier is a 6’3 forward who primarily played left wing at the USNTDP, where he scored 65 points in 54 games, good for second on the team in goals and fifth on the team in points.
He was already a highly rated prospect coming into the 2021-22 season, but a strong season and his ability to play center has Gauthier looking like a higher pick than originally projected. Starting at left wing this season, he was called on to play center when his linemate Logan Cooley was invited to the 2022 World Junior Championship and found himself thriving with a bigger role in that position.
