Eh?
Couture was with boedker and donskoi ward and labanc.
Thats essentially what hertl had.
Couture was top PP unit as well... How many of his points are 5vs 5 or pp points ?

I want Jagr AND Kovalchuk. I've bought into the 'retirement home' team identity and think we oughta collect as many aged superstars as we can.

It would be impossible to take the puck from Meier-Hertl-Jagr because they'd never have it. It's like taking millions of dollars from a homeless man
Couture had Ward, Donskoi, Labanc, Boedker, Karlsson etc. as his linemates during last season. Sometimes he played with Patty but Patty played much time on the captain line.
Logan can produce 60ish points with anyone. Also he scored 30-points during our run to the finals last year. Hertl had about as good linemates than Couture during 2016-2017 season and failed to produce even 0.5PPG. Their ice time were almost equal. Actually Hertl had more time on ice at even strength than Couture.
Couture is way superior player to Hertl and LC should play on our second line center unless we can get Duchene. Also he is better defensively than Hertl. He doesn't miss his assignments as much as Hertl and Couture played also team Canada's top pk-unit during World Cup and I am sure Babcock doesn't use players who wouldn't be great defensively on that role. Also Hertl had team's worst -8 during regular season.
Generally speaking I agree that Couture does not get the respect he deserves on the boards. He is no Thornton but he is a lot better than Hertl has shown so far.
Yeah. He is no Thornton and I think it might be unreasonable expect anyone to be Thornton. There is maybe 5 centers currently playing in the NHL who can be as good as Jumbo were during 2015-2016 season. But I think Couture doesn't need to be Thornton when we have Thornton but after Jumbo is retired/goes to another team we need another Couture-tier center. But for now he is our best option to play on our second line C and after Jumbo he will be our 1C which I am comfortable at if we can have player who is as good as Couture as our 2nd line C.
Couture is currently probably our most underrated forward. Pavelski were earlier but I think Couture is currently as good as Pavs or even better perhaps?
Carolina got Kruger for a 5th. He would've been a nice pickup. :/
Too good to tank, too bad to probably even make the playoffs.
I'm done with Wilson, it's time he found a new team to screw up.
It's the 4th of July. This offseason is critical for him, if the team is going to continue to be a contender he has to make some serious changes. If that doesn't happen by September, then his job absolutely should be in jeopardy.
