That's why its such a surprise when a player like Couturier sticks.
Not to say someone like Ristolainen or whoever might or might not be able to play, but whether its a good idea to.

The young players today are better prepared for the pros than even 5 years ago, guys who were offense players in junor like Couturier and Galchenyuk stick because they play a nice 2-way game in the NHL. junor coaching is great these days
