<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>busters99</b></div><div>It has hard to figure out what Gaut's issue is. He seems to have it all, except it doesn't work out. I wouldn't necessarily attribute it to HIQ, he is not a clueless player and has great stick skills. It's more like he sees the game should be played a certain way and has issues getting out of it. He creates a lot of breakaways/openings and they look very impressive but he doesn't convert. There were stats floating around last year of a very high rate of pressures. He attracts a lot of attention but doesn't seem to be able to finish with a player hanging on his back. Maybe a quick transition team would solve his riddle.</div></div>

Why would the avs want to take on that chance , he’s 25 and still trying to figure it out. He can’t play bottom 6 isn’t good to produce in the top 6. 2 teams couldn’t figure it out

You might have to just accept he’s a sunken asset at the nhl level.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>busters99</b></div><div>FWIW, there were many rumors that Kaut would be a roster crunch causality since he is no longer waive-exempt, but it appears due to an injury a roster spot has opened up for him. Camp isn't over and a similar circumstance could happen for Gauthier as well. They also are similar in that both had AHL success but have yet to break out in the NHL even though both are super-talented. Kaut is two years younger, so more hope surrounds him. When I look at both players, they seem to be more locked into their style, so would benefit greatly from playing on a team that has their style of play. The NYR suit Kaut, and the AVS suit Gauthier. It would have been a waiver-wire causality for a waiver-wire causality deal.</div></div>

these statements confuse me, kaut suits NYRs stayle and somehow Gauthier suits the Avs? What is Kauts "style" how does he fit on the Rangers and not the avs. This just feels like throwing something on the wall and hope it sticks.

Kaut fits the avs identity, its not just skating, so I am curious to hear why he doesnt fit the Avs but the Rangers in your own words

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jimbo1119</b></div><div>I'm not familiar enough with the Avs situation w/ Kaut to comment realistically on what he could be moved for...but unless he's about to hit the waiver wire (don't think so), I doubt they'd move him for Gaut- a guy who might just be waived.

FWIW, if (when) Gaut gets waived by NYR, whoever picks him up will be taking a flier on a low risk/high reward situation. Can't put a finger on what's wrong with Gaut- hockey IQ?? The guy just doesn't finish. He has size...insane speed... he hits...he back checks....he draws penalties. But for whatever reason he can't stay in the lineup...yet Ryan Reaves can?? As far as the Avs, I'm not sure who they would sit to insert Gaut in the lineup, but one thing he would do is put McK, Makar, and Company on the PP- this alone would be worth the Avs taking a stab at Gaut...just not with Kaut going east.</div></div>

If hockey IQ is an issue, then he wouldnt last under Bednar and the Avs.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tsyls</b></div><div>I think it’s just a winnipeg issue lol. The guy came into an absolute mess of a room, so don’t blame him for wanting out. The MTL stuff is overblown, but as of now I do think he ends up in MTL. He’s been a very vocal leader on the jets and if he wasn’t involved in all this speculation he’d be a real candidate for the C.

I think he’d definitely entertain an extension in Colorado. I get your apprehension though lol.

What’s your view on newhook?</div></div>

newhook is a 2C talent, he is smart, defensively aware and has great speed that fits the Avs identity. He could be as good or better than Dubois talent wise, that is his ceiling.
PLD is eating off his rep as a 2 way C, his numbers in Winnipeg show he is not very good decently. At 6m already, him as a 2C is getting pretty expensive.

I dont think he will be worth the 8m aav he will want in a long term extension.
