The Philadelphia Flyers legend Eric Lindros called out his former team for how they handled the Cutter Gauther trade to the Anaheim Ducks.

Lindros lived the same kind of situation than Gauthier when he joined the League. He was drafted first overall by the Quebec Nordiques, but refused to sign there and was traded to the Philadelphia Flyers, where he became a star.

Cutter Gauthier, drafted fifth overall by the Flyers in 2022, ended up being
traded to the Anaheim Ducks for Jamie Drysdale earlier this year, after Gauthier said he wouldn't sign with the Flyers. This decision led to a lot of criticism from fans, the media, the Flyers organization, and now, Eric Lindros.

Lindros discussed Gauthier's choice to ask for a trade in a recent interview. Surprisingly, he sided with Gauthier and not the Flyers.

Lindros suggested that the Flyers should have focused on making Gauthier feel important and wanted in Philadelphia, instead of focusing on his refusal.

Lindros also expressed frustration with how the Flyers handled the trade. He wished that the general manager, Daniel Briere, had focused on Jamie Drysdale's acquisition rather than the drama surrounding Gauthier.

Do you agree with Lindros about the fact that the Flyers didn't handle Gauthier's trade well?
