Re: What Makes Sean Couturier the Most Wanted Flyer?
I didn't mean it to say he literally can't skate but a guy who is a weak skater for the NHL level normally doesn't stick around the NHL level. There are plenty of guys who have high offensive abilities with poor skating habits in the AHL or Europe. That's why they aren't in the NHL. His skating isn't the issue, nor is his hands. Its the situation he is in when it comes to Philly. He is a 3rd line player there who is relied on to shut down the opponents top lines and he also is mainly used to kill penalties.
Put him on a team like Vancouver who would use him in a 2nd line role and give him some decent PP time and watch the difference in his offensive numbers.
His skating isn't the problem when it comes to Couturier; it's the situations that Philly rolls him into that holds him back from making that next step offensively.
Haven't we had this dance before? LOL!
