Quoting: EccE
Khusnutdinov is worth a 1st round pick. So we are trading three 1st round picks for Couturier, who is a luxury 2nd line center and not the undisputed 1C we need.
😳 what the actual Dickens
✔ Couturier has 242 pts in his last 262 games
✔ 2nd in cumulative selke voting in that time
✔ 6.4 Corsi % relative (!!) in that span as well
✔ SKATR chart is almost entirely dark blue
✔ All that despite very tough deployment
How on earth is that not an undisputed 1C in the NHL?? He's almost the perfect center. He's a "luxury 2nd C" on team Canada and behind McDavid/Matthews and a few other places but that's about it. Such a lazy archaic appraisal. Yeesh.
Bonus Coots fact:
Has 1 fewer point since 2017 than Nick Backstrom
EDIT:
He's closer to being a HOFer than a luxury 2C
