lmfao, his cap hit is $2.875 mill for 2 years, which IMO is a very good deal. It's only around 300k more than Raymond's cap hit, and i'd MUCH rather have Couture on my team.
And of course he's only had 1 season where he scored more than 5 goals, he's only been playing in the NHL for 2 seasons.
Couture is still very young, and comparing his contract to Kesler's is completely irrelevant and stupid.
