I love Couturier and I love that he's a demon defensively. However, part of his duties as a second line center is to provide offense and he simply doesn't provide it. 4 points in 12 games is simply unacceptable, especially when you consider he started the year with Voracek and Konecny as his linemates. Is it time to move Couturier back to the third line and let him be the defensive stalwart that he is and acquire a second line center or should they continue playing Couturier as the 2nd line center until he finds his offensive game? I've talked with a few other fans about this and as much as I've wanted Couturier to succeed in the 2nd line role, it just seems that the offensive side of the game isn't coming. So, to me anyways, why not let him continue to be a third line center a la Primeau and let him do his thing he's very good at. Anyways, just wanted to throw this out for discussion.
