Without Couturier suffering through mono in his draft year I'm really not sure Huberdeau gets taken ahead of him.
Flyers got an absolute steal in this guy dropping, imho.

From what I've read, Couturier's lack of upside is the reason why he fell so much.
I think he'll be a good two way centre throughout his career, but I think he'll average about 50 points a season, with the odd 60 here and there.
