He's going to be an excellent player regardless of how he progresses offensively, but some of the things I hear about him (i.e., going to be better than Giroux -- who Flyer fans consider a top 5 center, going to be a HOFer, that he's not going to be traded for anyone, etc.) are hard things to live up to.

Never heard anybody say that stuff.
But yes Couturier is the Flyers best defensive forward and I don't even know how that could be questioned if you watched more then a few Flyers games from the beginning of the regular season to the post season.
I think the trade maybe fairly close value wise but the incentive to make this trade just isn't there for either side IMO. So no from both I would guess.
