Cutter Gauthier’s number has gone up, and the Anaheim Geese might want to move money
Host: “Tell me about what’s going to occur with Anaheim and Cutter Gauthier.”
Anthony Di Marco: “Man, that’s a tricky one. Hey, you recognize, led by Kurt Overhardt, or as some GMs prefer to consult with him as ‘Overcharge’, a notoriously tough negotiator. But I mean, you hear, I imagine, it’s Keith Yandle and Spittin’ Chicklets saying that he’s not going to take one penny lower than Leo Carlsson. I mean, I believe that he’s going to are available somewhere between Bedard and Leo Carlsson.
Perhaps not get exactly $18 million, but that provide sheet, man, they kept Leo Carlsson. But that was a grenade chucked into Pat Verbeek‘s office by Danny Briere, and there’s going to be a trickle-down effect for probably the following 24 months or so.
And you might have Cutter Gauthier now, after which two years’ time you might have Beckett Sennecke to take care of. So I mean, I believe they get it done. I believe it probably comes around $16-$17 million dollars per season between Bedar and Carlsson, but it surely shouldn’t be going to be a straightforward season, in a bit of bit probably for Pat Verbeek to make all of the puzzles fit financially for the Anaheim Geese.
The Anaheim Geese Potential Cap Crunch Was Avoidable
Host: “And meaning you’re probably circling a (Chris) Kreider or an (Alex) Killorn that has to maneuver on.”
Di Marco: “Yeah, or a Frank Vatrano, they usually have three second-round picks in next 12 months’s 2027 NHL Draft to take care of, probably with currency, but you take a look at that blue line. That is very large. It’s a giant candidate for a giant step back next 12 months, the Anaheim Geese, because they’re going to lose some quality, depth guys.
NHL Rumors: Could Pat Verbeek Be on the Hot Seat in Anaheim This Season?
Their defense looks completely different. You progress off of (Olen)Zellweger, (Radko) Gudas, (Jacob) Trouba, and John Carlson. Nick Jensen. Okay, not terrible. You’re hoping that Pavel Mintyukov takes a step forward, but that’s the left side of the defense.
Jackson LaCombe, one in every of the higher young defenseman within the NHL, but I mean, I believe that’s a team that defensively last 12 months had a whole lot of ups and downs and was bailed out by Lukas Dostal. And if I’m a betting man at once, guys, the one way that Anaheim gets back within the playoffs is since the Pacific Division is just that bad. But that could be a massive regression candidate for my money for next season.”
