Logan Couture isn’t feeling 100 percent and he doesn’t plan on making himself available for the 2021 IIHF World Championship. “I’m just going to take the time once our season ends to regroup here,” said Couture on Thursday. “Mentally, physically, it’s been a grind. I’m dealing with some stuff right now so I will not play.” He hasn’t been approached by Team Canada yet, so this may not have been an issue. Couture also stated that he doesn’t expect to need any off-season surgeries.
