    more depth on a team with depth…

    no word on 2 way or not but i assume Gauthier is 1 way

    other moves incoming?

  2. nothing_but_static

    Not the Senator I was hoping for but a decent depth signing

  3. golfy_m8

    I think they’re all 1-year, 2-way contracts. Kuhlman and Gauthier can absolutely fly but lack finishing ability.

  4. Gleb2006

    Wonder if this means no Parise? Given it’s a one way deal. Or other roster moves coming eg ross the boss gone

  5. islesjets14x

    I really like Gauthier as depth, he has blazing speed and had a big game against us with the rangers last year lol

  6. rolltribe

    Wouldn’t shock me if Lou views these as replacing some of our bottom 6 guys and is trying to move them out

  7. starscream568

    We have an awful lot of forwards signed now.. wondering if some « hockey trades » are coming

  8. Actual_Bluebird

    Who’s going to make room/what does this do to the cap?

  9. Jkil6150

    weird, could mean one of clutter or parise are gone. we wouldn’t sign him to a one way

  10. Jcanzo37

    Gauthier is good bottom 6, fast skater but misses a lot of breakaways (basically grabner)

  11. TuchmanMarsh_LLP

    I wouldn’t put too much stock in it being one way. Chances are he’ll be in the minors most of the year, unless he has a Fasching-like breakout at some point.

    Playing hypothetical and say we get debrincat- would have to move Wally, jgp and probably clutter – I would actually give Lou more credit than I have.

    This team last year was incredibly slow – but adding debrincat, keeping Engvall and adding Gauthier would be huge for team speed. I think the 4th line has run its course and with Bailey getting unceremoniously dumped this off-season it’s time to finish the rest of the hard part.

    What this team needs is more bottom 6 grinders. Love it

  14. Baww18

    They used the picture of him in the sens sweater – this is the islanders sending us a message!

  15. Flashy-Mix-2139

    Guess hockey skills are more important than a political career. Go Isles!

    Gauthier could very well become another Fasching type of find. From what I’ve heard, Rangers fans were split on him just being filled vs. then really liking his game in the bottom six. I always thought he was real solid. If we have to move a couple roster players in a DeBrincat deal, I’ve got to think he’s got a real shot to be a regular for us.

    Kuhlman’s just been shuffled between the NHL sand AHL his career, but should be like an Andreoff where if things go haywire and you gotta put him in the lineup for a couple weeks, you’re fine. Better than someone who isn’t ready.

    Pinho is just Bridgeport filler
