The Philadelphia Flyers have traded top prospect Cutter Gauthier for Anaheim Ducks defensemen Jamie Drysdale and a second-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft, the team announced Monday.
According to the Daily Faceoff's Frank Seravalli, Gauthier, a 19-year old forward, informed the Flyers that he did not want to play in Philadelphia. Gauthier is currently in his second season at Boston College, where he has 13 goals and 10 assists in 17 games this year. He helped America win gold just a few days ago at the World Junior Hockey Championship, scoring two goals and picking up 10 assists in seven games.
