Daily News | Flyers select U.S. NTDP center Cutter Gauthier with the No. 5 overall pick in NHL draft
MONTRÉAL — After the second-worst season in franchise history, the Flyers “earned” their top-five draft pick. On Thursday, they used it to bring in a bright young talent by selecting power forward Cutter Gauthier with the fifth overall pick.
New Flyers coach John Tortorella emphasizes physical play and defense, a style Gauthier said he fits in with. His defense is a big part of the game, and he likes to “take control of the defensive zone.” “It’s such a surreal moment,” Gauthier said. “It’s everything I dreamed of growing up, hearing my name called someday, and I’m so happy that the Philadelphia Flyers are the ones to do it. So I’m super excited for the future, and I’ll see what it holds.”
“I’m extremely versatile where I can play, left and right wing or center, if that’s the case,” Gauthier said. “You know, I displayed my message to the Philadelphia Flyers that I’m willing to do whatever it takes to help the team win. If that’s on the wing, if that’s in center, I’m willing to do whatever.”
