I don't spend much time on the Flyers boards but that opinion seems foolish to me.
Chef - 220 GP - 53 G, 134 P, Career +36 on a team with zero playoff wins
Cout - 343 GP - 55 G, 153 P, Career +24 on a historically better team (since 2011)
As a Jet fan, I'm happy with Chevy's choice. Looking forward to see what our amateur scouting dept can do with a top 5 pick
It's not the points they want, it's Couts defensive acumen. The guy is fantastic defensively, potential Selke caliber and he's still young enough to develop his offensive game while playing against the top players of other teams whereas Scheifele's been insulated behind Little for years until now.
