NHL Insider Secrets: Shocking Updates on Cutter Gauthier’s Future and Adam Fantilli’s Next Move Revealed!
NHLRumors.com Note: As we have documented, the situation surrounding Cutter Gauthier and the Anaheim Ducks could have been avoided had GM Pat Verbeek taken care of his own business last year when he extended Jackson LaCombe. Verbeek’s hardball negotiating tactics allowed the Philadelphia Flyers to offer sheet Leo Carlsson at $18 million a season, which Anaheim had to match.
But the $36 million in cap space disappeared quickly after the extensions for Carlsson and Pavel Mintyukov ($7.2 million AAV). The Ducks only have around $9 million in cap space to sign Cutter Gauthier, who is looking for $15-$16 million a season on his next contract. So who does Verbeek trade? Chris Kreider, Frank Vatrano, or Alex Killorn.
