Drouin could be your top line winger or your second line centre or he could decide he'd rather be a lion tamer. You just never know with this guy.
I guess my biggest fear is he's bouncing around a lot and for a reason.

I get the impression he was/is a bit of full of himself. And it seems like he's not super focused on hockey. Not everyone is freaking MacKinnon about things, I know...but his dedication to being the best he can be is of concern to me.

Martin Frk is next
I'd like to by a vowel please.

I both knew this was coming but am also surprised at the same time. I really want this one to work.

Our team (so far) looks amazing, considering we've also lost only Newhook.

Drouin - Mack - Nuke
Lehks - RyJo - Rants
Wood - Colton - XXXXX
Cogs - XXXXXX - LOC

Toews - Makar
Byram - Manson
Girard - XXXXX

Georgiev
Francouz

+ Try and get Rodrigues on that 3rd line
+ Bottom six is SO much more talented !

Only Newhook?

The team thus far has lost Newhook, Cogliano, EJ, JMFJ, Rodrigues, Compher, Eller and Nieto lol.

Not that I'm mad. I'm happy most of those guys are gone but the team is a lot different from last season.

What year is that?

I had season tickets 7 years ago, and watched Tampa a ton before and after that. Not sure actually, but I watched him a lot early. Inconsistent, but monster performances that made you believe.

I like him on a career saving shot for a year. He's got legit mental health stuff going on.

He had a monster playoff run with Tampa early too.

Have a little patience mate , some of those named may still return (or an able replacement).

The club's doing an absolutely spot on job filling the gaps, improving the farm system, and remaining cap compliant.

This team is going to look SO exciting.

What about his time in Montreal? Tampa was a long time ago. Montreal fans are frequently saying he has a corpse of a career.

Inconsistent, never reached his potential, but I've seen him still flash it.

I like him for the third line actually. Not the top line.

Kinda been rooting for him for a while. Think PAP after his first year with Duchy lol. Without that year..
