Most likely scenario would be to trade down, but sometimes other teams don't actually want to trade up, so you end up in a tricky situation fast. That's what happened when the Kings took Thomas Hickey 4th overall(whoops). They thought Hickey was their man and couldn't trade down. Instead, they could have drafted a player ranked higher - say Voracek or Gagner. Kevin - Staal is a great example as well. Very valid comparison.

Just kidding, awesome read! - Ross The Boss Palmer Mon, 23 Apr 2012 10:51:47 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/russ-miller/4584-a-star-in-the-making-sean-couturier#comment-20554 Fantastic. Very, very good and draws on some good quotes & player comparisons. This was excellent - great job!! 8) - Pengwin7 Mon, 23 Apr 2012 09:40:52 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/russ-miller/4584-a-star-in-the-making-sean-couturier#comment-20551 If you want another comparison you don't have to go far from who was on the other side of the ice for the Flyers. Jordan Staal has been a pretty formidable 2-way forward in his own right at an early age. Granted, I know he spent a good chunk of his rookie campaign on the wing, but he was lined up against the opposing top line well before he was 20. - Kevin Mon, 23 Apr 2012 09:11:30 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/russ-miller/4584-a-star-in-the-making-sean-couturier#comment-20550 I said it at the draft and I still feel the Oilers should have drafted him instead of RNH. Sure, RNH has more offensive upside, but Couturier would be a better fit and would have enabled them to win more games. I also think his offensive potential is underrated. He may not reach his potential on a team like Philly, because he might end up a 3rd line centre, but he could have been the big bodied, 1st line centre the Oilers need to play with Eberle and Hall. - SeaDawg Mon, 23 Apr 2012 08:08:59 +0100
