When a new GM takes over a team (Fletcher in Philly), they usually like to put their 'stamp' on a team, and that sometimes takes the form of moving on from the core of the last regime. Couturier is young enough to be part of the new core. Players like Giroux, Voracek could be pried out?
Neither here nor there for this thread, I guess. Interesting question would be who adds in a Giroux for Gaudreu swap.
