yes sir i have

I am all for acquiring a young defensemen but not at the cost of Couturier. You can typically only get a player like him (big two way center) in the top 10 of the draft. I would hope the Flyers are not in that position in the future. Great defensemen can be had anywhere in the draft, so I value a player like Couturier more.

The problem is the Flyers have not drafted a great defenseman in like 20 years. Their chances of getting another Couturier is 100x more than getting a #1D in future drafts.

OMG I agree with you in principal!!!

Edit. I'm not even being sarcastic! I doubt if the Flyers can draft an OEL (especially with their history, but a Couturier is another thing entirely. They are great at developing forwards, as we know.

I believe he's trying to hide the fact he can't wink via sunglasses.

But on the flip side, you can only get a guy like OEL in the top 10 of the draft as well. It cuts both ways.

Shea Weber- 2nd round
Duncan Keith-2nd round
Kris Letang-3rd round
Chara-3rd round
Next tier:
Brian Campbell-6th rd
Alexander Elder- 3rd round
Enstrom- 8th rd
Yandle-4th rd

Can go on with Boyle, Giordano, Girardi all undrafted. PK Subban, Justin Faulk, and Justin Schultz are young guys taken in rd 2 with great potential to be #1 guys. Big two way centers almost never make it out of rd 1 let alone the top 10 in a normal draft.

I just read Dustin Leed's piece from the weekend. Incredibly thought provoking and it sort of changed my mind in a way. Before, I didn't want to move Couturier at all but with Schenn putting up offensive numbers and Laughton having looked solid as a shutdown guy, maybe dealing Couts for a top young dman isn't so bad after all.
