What can we say about Flyers forward Sean Couturier that hasn’t already been shouted from the mountains and written by some of the top scribes of the modern NHL?

Honestly, we’ll get to all of that.
But the clearest endorsement of Sean Couturier and his importance to the Flyers can be found in his absence.
