Why the Anaheim Ducks’ Future Hinges on Signing Cutter Gauthier Before Training Camp
NHL Rumors: Cutter Gauthier and the Anaheim Ducks
We know Pat Verbeek is a tough negotiator. He came from the Steve Yzerman school of negotiating. Look what that did for Yzerman in Detroit. Not to say the same thing can’t happen to Verbeek in Anaheim, but the Leo Carlsson offer sheet threw a monkey wrench into the Anaheim Ducks internal salary cap.
But Verbeek’s pattern of being a tough negotiator for players coming out of their entry-level deals, minus, say, Jackson LaCombe and Troy Terry, has landed him in this situation. Let’s not forget the players who signed deep into training camp and struggled when the season got going.
