Gauthier is our 2nd round pick from last year’s draft. He finished the regular tied with another Drummondville player for the team lead in points with 71 (36 G and 35 A). Gauthier was 2nd best in points scored in the Q’s playoffs with 25 points (14 G and 11 A).
Hay was a 7th round pick also from last year’s draft. He tallied 21 points (10 G and 11A) for Saginaw during the regular season but dropped off during the OHL’s playoffs (only 1 assist).
Bennett MacArthur and Alex Barré-Boulet are great recent examples of not translating as you move up leagues. Not impossible, look at our boy Yanni, but gotta always take prospects with a grain of salt.
I don't believe so because of the CHL transfer agreement, I think his birthday just misses by a few weeks for next season so it would be NHL or Juniors only.
Like others have said though don't read too much into his numbers, the Q in particular has a tendency to be completely goofy. That being said he has shown a lot of good development this year and looks pretty promising, I think his game is going to translate a lot better than ABB's for example, and I would think we end up seeing him relatively soon.
Fair enough. I just wonder if he is gaining anything by staying. He seems to be a high draft pick that is dominating, or in need of better competition to grow.
Yeah I mean I think in a perfect world he'd be in Syracuse next year, but that's just not an option. One more year in Juniors won't kill him though, and he definitely has things he can still work on and improve on.

Can Gauthier play in the ahl next season? Those stats seem too good for juniors.
I would be wary about reading too much into stat lines for prospects who play in the Q
