Reading Assignments:
- Philadelphia Flyers sign center and 2020 Selke Trophy winner Sean Couturier to eight-year, $63 million extension. [ESPN]
Couturier is one of the game's best two-way centers and is well worth his price-tag now... but it feels a bit unlikely that will be the case from age 30-to-36. Regardless, it's *very* well deserved considering how grossly underpaid he was on his previous deal. pic.twitter.com/BXsg93rjth

Andrei Svechnikov's projected to stay between top line & elite territory during his contract, and should stay under market value throughout. He's somewhat of a unicorn, with his closest comp only being a 'partial match,' but it's unlikely this deal becomes a bust. pic.twitter.com/hkDSdXPMEt
