I think very few believe Couturier will ever be a top-tier 1C, let alone a top-5 overall (given the age of Crosby, Malkin, Giroux, Toews, and other established players, that seems highly unlikely, and that's without even considering guys like RNH, Seguin, etc.).
I don't disagree with what you're trying to say, but it seems like you're overstating the position of my Flyers fans / Couturier homers.
