There is an interesting connection between Tavares and Couture that has to do with their CHL days.

(I know the answer, but am curious if others recall)
Couture was projected to go first overall in the OHL Priority Draft, however Tavares received exceptional player status and thus leap-frogged Couture, and went first overall. Couture then played the "I am going to college" card and subsequently fell to the Ottawa 67s in the draft. IIRC.

Did Oshawa have a handshake agreement with Couture family he was their guy before it was known Tavaraes was granted exceptional status.

I remeber the decsicon on JT came down pretty late.
