I like Cout but god damn that package is gonna suck I bet.
Agreed on the first part. The Gaudreau signing has me worried. I know I'm the only one, but it still does.
I don't see Couturier ever touching 80 points either. I think he is more of a 50-60 point guy. I also don't see Bartschi as an 80 point guy though. More of a 60-70 player. I think Couturier will have more of a well rounded game though and I have less injury concern with him. I think I'd move Bartschi straight up for Couturier.
*****? This is the one team he does get things right with. Hoping Sven isn't involved. Maybe Gio and a goalie for Couts and a cap dump?

I think Bart can be a PPG type player but either way he should* be a 30 goal scorer, something I don't ever see Couts doing either.
Yeah, Eklund has been gaining credibility over the last few years. He has broken trades and signings before anyone else.
The potential is definitely there for him to be a 30 goal guy I think. It all depends how he's used and developed. If we continue this Jackman and Begin with him BS though, I don't see him developing offensively to ever be a PPG guy or even a 30 goal guy. He needs top 6 minutes. I think the Tanguay trade was at least partially about that. Conroy intimated as much on 960.

Bart will be a top-6 winger for the majority of this season. Of that I am certain.
Thinking a pure cap dump.... Holm is planning on offer sheeting petro IMO
Talbot possibly.
What do the Flyers have to dump?
Mezaros? who else.
Way too much
30 yr old dman + solid but not elite goalie prospect + 2nd round pick is fair for a high end young center
