Philadelphia might be leaning towards starting the season with rookie Sean Couturier on their roster. "I think the more time Sean spends here, the better it is for him - and the Flyers, in the long run," said Flyers GM Paul Holmgren on Wednesday. "He would get to play a tempo that he wouldn't get if he was to be sent back [to juniors]. To be able to skate with NHL players on a daily basis, work with them in the weight room, all of those things are good for him. And seeds can be planted on what he needs to work on." Couturier can always be returned to junior if he isn't prepared for full-time NHL action, but his salary cap hit of $1.375 million could be a potential roadblock. Stay tuned.
