Couturier is a trap for the Flyers--he's going to break the bank with his next contract and the Flyers will overpay him based on past performance. If the Flyers somehow get someone to take JVRs contract, that will be a plus. Jake is untradeable with that horrific contract. Next up will be Hayes and Couturier with awful, long-term contracts.
The problem is, the Flyers will never fully rebuild. Hextall tried to and they got impatient and cleaned house. They should make Farabee, Hart, Provorov and York off-limits... and everyone else in the entire organization should be shopped... including Couturier and Giroux.
That said, it will never happen, because Vigneault will not coach a rebuilding team, and Fletcher is a "play-it-safe and ride the median" type of GM.
The Flyers are in worse shape that some want to admit.
