For the majority of the regular season, fans were trying to figure out a way that the Philadelphia Flyers could get rid of their captain, Sean Couturier. Whether it was a buyout or attaching draft picks to him to send him to some other team that could take on his sizeable contract, he was seen as an ineffective player that was taking up a roster spot.
