My first live viewing of Gauthier, and his game did not leave the descriptions out there for him and my initial thoughts via Telus Webcast. Gauthier skates well with powerful acceleration, but lacks co-ordination and his turns seem a little laggy. Seems to like being the last man in offensively and first man back on the forecheck, which is a bit of trade-off considering how dominant he could be low on the boards offensively. He possesses a powerful shot that he had trouble controlling through the game. Takes great positions defensively always staying between the puck carrier and the net.
ISS Top 30 Countdown#22 Frederik GauthierStrong 2-way power forward. Shows high level of understanding for the physics of the game.
