Ok 1st of all why would Philly want to trade Couturier
2nd of all Couturier would just leave buffalo in 2022, meaning that it doesn't make sense for Buffalo to get him over a prospect or another pick

I said in the description that this assumed extensions so I'm guessing you couldn't be bothered to read that? Eichel is better than Couturier so it's an upgrade right there. The trade as a whole turns Couturier and Konecny into Eichel and Jones which addresses their needs on the back end and upgrades their 1C position. They have forward depth in spades.

Reference? Or just talking without any actual knowledge?

It's common sense
Buffalo is a terrible organization in a below average NHL city
No star player would voluntarily decide to go to buffalo over another team
