Tabe Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 6 hours ago, S.K.o.S. said: Very out of the loop on hockey but this seems to be a big deal? Gauthier was drafted #5 overall in 2022. For him to get traded before even playing in the NHL is definitely unusual, to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Gauthier told the Flyers he didn't want to play for them Quote The Philadelphia Flyers said top prospect Cutter Gauthier didn't want to play for them, so they sent him packing Monday, trading the forward to the Anaheim Ducks for defenseman Jamie Drysdale and a 2025 second-round draft pick. Flyers general manager Danny Briere told reporters that the trade "was a long time coming." Briere said when the team drafted Gauthier that the forward told the front office that he was "built to be a Flyer and wanted to be a Flyer" before ultimately changing his mind. "Maybe a few months later, he told us he didn't want to be a Flyer and didn't want to play for the Flyers," Briere said. "So, in our mind at first, we have to protect him. If he changes his mind again, and it's out there that he doesn't want to play, it's going to be tough for him to put the uniform on." After Monday night's 4-1 loss to Pittsburgh, coach John Tortorella was succinct when asked about Gauthier not wanting to play for Philadelphia. "Then we don't want you," Tortorella said. https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/39272288/flyers-trade-prospect-cutter-gauthier-want-you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to keep a comically in over his head coach and his equally incompetent staff around until you are rooted at the bottom of the league and ensure missing the playoffs for the 13th consecutive season because STABILITY! ???

RIPPA Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Quote Five players from Canada's 2018 world junior team have taken a leave of absence from their current clubs in recent days amid a report that five members of that team have been asked to surrender to police to face sexual assault charges. Michael McLeod and Cal Foote of the New Jersey Devils, Carter Hart of the Philadelphia Flyers, Dillon Dube of the Calgary Flames and former NHL player Alex Formenton, who is now playing in Europe, all have been granted indefinite leave, with the absences announced in the past four days. The Flyers and Swiss club HC Ambri-Piotta cited personal reasons for Hart's and Formenton's leaves; the Swiss club also said Formenton has been allowed to return to Canada. The Flames cited Dube's mental health, and the Devils did not give a reason Wednesday in announcing McLeod and Foote were on leave. Messages left for the agents representing all five players and multiple messages sent to Hart's lawyer seeking comment were not immediately returned. London, Ontario, police launched an investigation in 2022 after word emerged that Hockey Canada had settled a lawsuit with a woman who said she was sexually assaulted by eight members of that team at a gala. The Globe & Mail reported Wednesday that five players from that team were asked to surrender to police, in the city halfway between Toronto and Detroit, to face charges of sexual assault. A spokesperson for London Police would not confirm the report when contacted by The Associated Press. "When there is an update to provide, we will share with media outlets," Sgt. Sandasha Bough said Wednesday. Earlier in the day, Flyers general manager Daniel Briere opened his midseason state-of-the-organization news conference by saying: "We are aware of this morning's press reports on a very serious matter. We will respond appropriately when the outcomes of the investigations are made public. "The NHL has been very clear that teams should refer all investigation-related questions to them. In the meantime, members of the organization, including Flyers players, will not be commenting any further." The NHL opened its own investigation in 2022 and pledged to make those findings public. Deputy commissioner Bill Daly told The Associated Press by email Wednesday the league would issue a statement when it is appropriate, adding there's nothing more he could currently say. At the Stanley Cup Final in June, Daly said an independent investigator had completed work and expected a report by midsummer that the league would then review. "We have been in contact with the London police, continue to want to be in contact with them, make sure that there's visibility with respect to what our process is," Daly said June 3. "And to the extent we can understand what theirs is, that would be the goal. And then I can't prejudge what happens from there." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
