Gauthier is an interesting prospect who projects to be a pro who can be deployed in a variety of roles. He produces offense without sacrificing detail defensively.
Despite his, somewhat, lopsided statistics that describe a player who is a shooter more than a play maker - Ethan sees the ice and has the vision to distribute effectively off the rush and on the power-play. He has a stocky build, isn't punishing physically but also doesn't shy away from traffic, and a definite nose for the net. His skating has room to go to another level before he becomes a full-time professional, but his overall hockey sense and compete are already in place along with his potentially better than secondary offensive upside at the NHL level.
