Boston College Eagles‘ 2022/2023 commit, Swedish-born center Cutter Gauthier(61) had a 2nd USNTDP season that went completely off-the-hook scoring.
The 6’2″ 201 lbs. Philadelphia Flyers‘ 2022 1st round pick, #5 overall in the NHL draft scored 34 goals and 31 assists in 54 USDP U18 games with a +33 rating and another 19 goals and 9 assists in 22 USHL games with a +14.
At just 18-years old, he’s been in the US for a long while acclimating his game and should be a force as a rookie next season.
His playing rights for the big league have been traded to Anaheim Ducks, which is a no-brainer for him to sign, when he’s ready, as he allegedly didn’t want to skate for his draft team.
After blowing through 41 goals last season and adding another 12 points in the playoffs, he picks up a new 6-year $13.5M AAV deal to stay on as a Ducks for awhile.
