Flyers set to land another Gauthier??
You may already be aware of the Gauthier family's legacy in the QMJHL and NHL, as Julian Gauthier is currently a part of the New York Rangers roster.
Julian's two brothers are also making a name for themselves in the QMJHL, playing for the Sherbrooke Phoenix, Ethan and Kaylen
One of them is named
Ethan Gauthier, who is a right-wing player and eligible for the 2023 draft.
Must read on FlyersInsider
The Philadelphia Flyers would be wise to consider recruiting Ethan, who managed to score 40 points in 35 games at the start of the 2022-2023 season and only experienced a slight dip in performance with 29 points in 31 games thereafter.
As the son of former NHL player Denis Gauthier, Ethan's tenacity on the forecheck and willingness to involve himself in plays are likely influenced by his father's experience.
Furthermore, Ethan is a skilled stick handler and is not afraid to use his physicality to put pressure on his opponents by delivering hits.
At Pick 22, the Flyers could potentially acquire a gem in Ethan, whose playstyle would likely be appreciated by John Tortorella. Although he has some areas for improvement, such as his speed and offensive production, Ethan is a well-rounded 200-ft player who could thrive in the Flyers' system.
