Generation Next
Logan Couture, C, 20
Couture is a well-rounded playmaker who plays a strong positional game. Although he is not an outstanding skater, Couture is regarded for his consistent effort, two-way play and lunch pail work ethic. The pivot rebounded from an injury-riddled season by leading his junior team with 39 goals last year.

View From the Stands
Nirky says:
[On the Heatley trade] "When a team which has a glaring inability to score in the playoffs gets a premiere scorer, it can only be a good thing. It was a good trade, basically standing pat with last year's deer-in-the-headlights playoff team made no sense. Another trade or two are probably warranted also."
