Cant argue that one... how anyone can watch him play and say he's good is beyond me. His technique and athleticness is awful... hard to be a tendy in todays era without those! He plays like its the 90s

He is so slow and he is incapable of moving side to side and it only takes one deke, IF THAT!, to score one on one with him. Pathetic

I too think he could hit 50-60 pts again but I think it would be unreal for Couturiers development if he had someone like Gagne to team up with on that third line!

That makes a great 3rd line. They are both great on defense. Shut down line....

You are right, both are solid defensively but Couturier has untapped offensive potential... Him playing with someone like Gagne who can put the puck in the net could tap into some of that. I am one of the few or think Couturier has more offensive upside then B Schenn

I think you may be right. Couts could turn out to be damn good. Look at the moves he made 2 springs ago against Pitt! Schenn most likely will turn out to be another Richards if he's lucky

Hattricks in the playoffs are no luck. Shutting down Malkin is not luck either

Is it just me, or is Gagne fairly useless now?

And by useless I mean not worth the injury risk and low production.

His two-way game and leadership ability are his main selling points now

Useless? No. I also would give him a full season back in Philly before you say he is washed up.

I think I hold an expectation to him that he can't possibly live up to.

Used to always keep my eye on him in my fantasy pools and he almost always disappointed. not seeing him as full-time as you Philly fans would get to I just look at his game sheets and don't see much.

Always happy to be corrected though.

Its not always about how many pts you score. He is valuable in many other ways, But he will put up his fair share of pts this coming season. Im sure of it

Can anyone on here tell me the actual truth on prongers ltir. Do we have to dump a player to be under the cap before we use his 4.9 mill or does the ltir day happen the same day as a team is suppose to be under the cap???

The best part is how Homer pronounces his name,
"Simon" with no attempt to say it the French way.
