2023 Fantasy Outlook
There was no outlook written for Julien Gauthier in 2023. Check out the latest news below for more on his current fantasy value.
$Signed a two-year contract with the Islanders in July of 2023.
Waived Friday
RWNew York Islanders  Minors
February 2, 2024
The Islanders placed Gauthier on waivers Friday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
ANALYSIS
Gauthier has been a healthy scratch in three of the Islanders' last nine games and he was pointless in the other six contests. Gauthier should be sent to AHL Bridgeport if he passes through waivers. He will likely be replaced by Casey Cizikas (lower body) on the Isles' fourth line once Cizikas returns to action.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might draw into lineup Thursday
RWNew York Islanders  Minors
November 9, 2023
Gauthier might play Thursday versus Boston if Bo Horvat, who is a game-time decision due to a lower-body injury, isn't ready to return, according to Andrew Gross of Newsday.
ANALYSIS
It would be Gauthier's second contest of the 2023-24 campaign. He made his season debut Oct. 21 against Buffalo, recording four hits and a block in 12:58 of ice time. Gauthier had nine goals and 14 points in 57 contests between the Rangers and Ottawa in 2022-23.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2019
2018
Though this will be his first full season in the NHL, it feels like a make-or-break campaign for Gauthier, who has dominated in the AHL but has failed to keep up with the increased competition at the highest level. He scored 27 goals in 75 AHL games in 2018-19, then potted 26 goals in just 44 AHL contests last year, but the 23-year-old winger has totaled just three points -- all assists -- in 17 NHL appearances. While Gauthier has intriguing physical tools with great skating ability in a 6-foot-4, 227-pound frame, it remains to be seen whether he can finally find his scoring touch at the NHL level, or if he'll turn into just another run-of-the-mill, bottom-six guy.
The Hurricanes fell in love with Gauthier's combined measurables in the 2016 draft and selected him 21st overall, but the 6-foot-4, 225-pounder is yet to appear in an NHL game. Gauthier finally found his groove at the AHL level last season, recording 25 goals among his 41 points in 75 games. His ceiling has often been compared to Rick Nash, who was a perennial 30-goal scorer in his prime, but Gauthier first needs to make it to the NHL before we can start lending any credence to such comparisons. With Carolina not lacking forward depth, another year of seasoning in the AHL seems like the most likely outcome for Gauthier.
Gauthier had a good season last year – his first in the AHL – manufacturing 16 goals and nine assists for the Charlotte Checkers. Prior to that, he played four seasons in the QMJHL, scoring at nearly a point-per-game pace (211 points in 227 games). The 20-year-old Gauthier is a solidly-built, 6-foot-4 power forward with a sniper's touch, and he projects to be a top-four forward for the Canes once he's ready. For now, he will likely spend at least one more season in the AHL, but don't forget about him – players with his skill set often graduate to the NHL level at a moment's notice.
