Having earned back to back team MVP awards, Sean Couturier wanted everyone to know Friday that he wasn’t satisfied.

Leading the way among a week’s worth of Flyers team award winners, Couturier was named winner of the Bobby Clarke Trophy as the club’s most valuable player, the second consecutiv­e year he’s won.

And yet...

“There’s always room for improvemen­t,” Couturier said. “I’m not perfect. I still do mistakes sometimes. I just want to keep improving every year, every game. I think I can.”

Couturier, a defensive checking specialist earlier in his career, this season alternated between the top two lines at the center spot, finishing second in team scoring with 59 points (22 goals, 37 assists) over 69 games played.
