Seems like a grass is greener thing to me. No way I trade Gaudreau for him straight up.
I am not arguing that Couturier is a bad player but to say he is worth more than anyone on the Flames roster? nope.

Plus/minus???? You are using that in isolation to look at a players defensive ability. Tsk, tsk.
You obviously know little about Couturier. He generally shuts down the other teams best player. He's only been used in any kind of offensive role for the last two years. Johnny is a different type of player, so they are hard to compare. But Couturier is so much better than Monny it's not debatable.
