It may have been wiser for Cutter Gauthier to communicate through his agent when addressing matters involving the Philadelphia Flyers organization.
Gauthier explained that he did not attend the development camp this season due to excessive hockey playing during the world and a desire to continue developing at Boston College.
Gauthier on skipping Flyers dev camp: "Was a little bit too much hockey after Worlds. Just too much for me. I wanted time with the family. So I figured it was best to stay home. After talking to Danny (Briere, GM), obviously it wasn't his favorite thing, but it was best for me."

Wait, wasn't the excuse that he wasn't allowed because he was taking classes at BC? But now it's that it was just too much hockey. What will the story be by the end of August? And there was no talking to Briere because the GM had no idea why he wasn't there like the rest of us.
Translation, I don't really want to play for this disaster of an organization
Additionally, he mentioned wanting to spend more time with his family, which is a reasonable explanation.
However, some fans remain skeptical of his reasoning, particularly since he was drafted by the team and did not attend the development camp.
One fan has accused Gauthier of making multiple excuses because he does not want to play for the Flyers, whom the fan considers to be a "disaster" of an organization.
