Scouting Report:
Corey Pronman - The Athletic
"Gauthier has the tools that can make you easily envision him in the NHL. He has a thick 6-foot-2] frame and can skate like an NHL player. With his size and speed he can overpower opponents to force turnovers or in how he attacks the net. Gauthier can create with his skating and skill, but his main offensive weapon is his shot. He can pick corners from distance with a powerful wrist shot."*
