Exactly. If you look at the numbers, he didn't really take off until Kane was added to his line. It's been a mutually beneficial pairing with those 2 but Couture has for years needed someone to drive the bus the way that Kane is or how Meier did for him 2 years ago and somewhat last year.Lol at thinking couture has been good all season. He was miserable for the first 10 games of the season. Now he is a little better but his point production is deceiving to how he was actually playing.
Agree 100%. Couture isn't even that great in the FO circle but he does seem to be decent defensively in his own zone though which makes it complicated. It would be great to have the talent to move Couture to wing though. He could probably put up 40 with a good playmaking center. As is though, his game looks a lot better when Hertl is playing well and drawing the #1 defensive matchups from other teams leaving Couture to play against 2nd pairs.Exactly why Couture would be an excellent top line winger if we had any actual top-6 centers other than Hertl lol
