News broke yesterday that the Flyer captain, Sean Couturier, decided to change agents which caused speculation regarding if Couturier wants out of Philadelphia.
Insider Kevin Kurz reported that the change in agents was due to wanting to switch to a larger company in hopes that they can have a better line of communication with the Flyers in the future. According to Kurz, Couturier wants to stay in Philadelphia.
My understanding of Sean Couturier changing agents is that it's primarily about communication. He has a more established agency now that can go to the Flyers' F.O. if there any issues that arise.
No, he's not asking for a trade or anything like that.
Hopefully this open line of communication will be able to help the Flyers captain avoid moments such this season when he was a healthy scratch for a few games in a row.
