Cutter Gauthier said he’s “not so sure” what his next move is. Hadn’t talked to @AnaheimDucks recently so doesn’t know what they’re thinking. Feels he’s taken a big step in his two way game this year. He’s trying to “cherish every last moment of being a college athlete.”
Tough break for Cutter Gauthier in what’s expected to be the final game of his college career. Could sign with Anaheim as soon as tomorrow and would likely play in their final game on Thursday against Vegas. #FlyTogether https://t.co/uPMBik5qOt
