Frederik Gauthier: Expectations With The Maple Leafs

Every week throughout the NHL season and off-season we will be updating you on the development, potential and realistic expectations for key Toronto Maple Leafs prospects with up-to-date stats, analysis and scouting reports

Frederik Gauthier

The video starts out with TSN’s Director Of Amateur Scouting; Craig Button and his break down of Frederik Gauthier during his draft year. We all know Button can be a little “out there”, and he continues that trend when at the beginning of the video he rates Frederik Gauthier’s skills.

Button breaks down Gauthier’s skills as follows;

Skating – 4/5

Hockey IQ – 5/5

Hands – 4/5

Shot – 3/5

Competitiveness – 4/5

When looking upon those rankings it appears the Leafs got a massive steal at 21st overall and possibly a legit 1st, probably 2nd line center for the next decade.
