The big talk around the Flyers lately has been the fact that their captain Sean Couturier has been a healthy scratch for the past two games.
According to speculation online, it seems as though the problem John Tortorella has with the player is that he is too slow. Torts like fast paced and high intensity hockey, which Coots does not seem to be delivering.
Couturier is not going to magically get faster so if that's the issue, what's the plan for the next SEVEN years of his contract?
If this is the problem, many fans are wondering what will happen with Couturier this summer since the Flyers captain still has 7 years left on his contract.
Couturier has 36 points in 64 games so far this season with a -6 +/- rating.
