Easily the best player to wear 94 for the Flyers.

Its an intriguing thought. It would free Couturier of a lot of burden.

Would you prefer a line up of Couturier-Frost-Danault down the middle or Couturier-Hayes-Frost?

I think the former utilizes talents better.
- PT21

I think we are stuck with Hayes so I could see a line of Danault centering Laughts and NAK? Frost could center Lindblom and Allison? Not sure.

I still think Danault will be overpriced for us.

As I remember it, what they said was that he missed the season due to a migraine disorder and not a concussion. Apparently that was what doctors determined (for what it's worth). I guess the point of stating that is to protect themselves from being accused of not treating his concussions properly? I don't think the Flyers did anything wrong exactly. I'm guessing that they followed all NHL protocols regarding concussion.
- Dkos

But its not quite as innocuous as that. Concussions and migraines have different implications about style of play post-treatment. Migraines are unlikely to keep you out for so long in one stretch, and then let you return fully and completely after that. They are more likely to be a recurrent, chronic but intermittent condition.


Otoh, while exercise and contact can trigger migraines, they also don't have to. If a player is being remarkably skittish, especially in relation to past play (when migraines were already part of medical history), chances are high it is PCS.

Thus, there are implications of how the player is perceived by fans. If it is migraines, and treated, and controlled enough that he can play, they are less likely to be forgiving of his reluctance to forecheck, lay hits etc. Especially when they see it is apparently not recurring enough for him to take time off.

Then there are the moral implications. We are in a time when people are trying to highlight the bad effects of lasting head trauma. And the Flyers say it is migraines, which is a family condition, which in turn means it is genetical and thus not directly related to head trauma.

Honestly, I blame fans who buy the company line more than the Flyers organization.

RAMBLING INCOHERENCE!!

Eichel has 5 years left at 10 per I think he’s 25 maybe 26.

Coots signing at age 30 🤮8+/???

Eichel more elite offensively

I’d take Eichel everyday of the week and twice on Sunday
- Stayin alive

If we’re talking right now today, how does anyone choose Couturier over Eichel? Like, how? Couturier is four years older and the “more balanced game” excuse is ridiculous. When the game is on the line and you’re looking to tie or win, Eichel all day. We need dynamic scoring and we don’t right now.

Eichel hasn’t even gotten surgery yet. Any team that trades for him likely won’t even get a healthy Eichel until 22-23. If you trade for him you are throwing the 21-22 season, in my opinion.

Hockey Reference has nobody listed under 94:

Maybe he had too much respect for the great Chris Stewart to take 44.

Oh yeah? I revise my opinion.

I would trade him for Couts in a heartbeat then.

I was at the game when Stewart gave it to Oleksiak, I love his post fight Celly

So protecting the lead is not a thing at the end of a game?

Right now I would take Couturier over Eichel. Couturier is a top level defensive center and scores 30 goals regularly.
