Proposal: Change of Scenery - Nolan Patrick for Jo Drouin
- Thread starter Techcoockie
- Start date
So what you are telling me is, his cap is ZERO until he plays...
How is that a Cap Dump? Cause he's on LTIR until he does better mentally and physically, so... A cap dump ??
Still too high for what he brings. No thanks

That's crazy. It allows you to take Drouin's $11 million and give it to someone who can actually shoot and score goals. If you dont want Patrick, get rid of him after.

I’m completely okay as a flyers fan I’d rather not take on the cap space tbhWould both team agreed to a change of scenery for both ? Patrick would fit with the "retool" Montreal needs to address this summer with a change of direction and Drouin would thrive in a better environment in Phili.

I think this merss guy is the smartest person I’ve ever seen post
I don’t want to move Drouin but if I had to move him - I’d want a better asset than Patrick back.

Drouin actually had a pretty good start to the season.
He then had a slump and everything went on a downward spiral as he was deemed the scapegoat for the habs global bad play.
But the way it all went down, it was exagerated. Drouin was not playing good, so were a lot of guys on this team.
Drouin is a talented, youngish player.
At 5,5 mil he's not a super good deal, but it's certainly not that bad of a contract.
The timing is soooo bad to trade him. Pure buy high sell super low...
MB is a clown.

As of right now the Habs centers under contract for next season are Suzuki, Kotkaniemi and Evans. Danault and Staal are both upcoming UFAs. Now Staal is as good as done. I assume that he will retire after this year. He has no has left in the tank.
If the Habs picked up Patrick then they would be rolling with by far the youngest center group in the NHL. I would much prefer to have someone who is more of a vet. Either bring Danault back or sign another UFA center or pick one up in trade.

Anyone that doesn't understand this .... should go follow another sport.The stupid comments from Habs fans..... has nothing to do with how good or bad Patrick is. It's a $1 million dollar player vs $5.5 overpaid player that the team wants to dump. Habs will have to buy him out unfortunately or take on another team's bad cap hit thats similar in size

Patrick slept with your crush didn't he.
Drouin is a 5.5 40 point defensive nightmare that the flyers don't need right now. We'll keep the player that need a mil QO in the hope that he can flash the skill that shows why he was a 2nd overall pick.
It's been 4 years now... lol...
People keep saying KK is a bust, Patrick is the DEFINITION of a bust. Guy is done.

Habs need to add in making this work due the cap, possibly a 2nd + 3rd.
Patrick has little value with the migraines, QO might be higher than his worth. Still substantially cheaper. Drouin is currently the much better player. LOA indefinitely for personal issues, maybe mental or drinking has a negative value.
Flyers shouldn’t be risking $5.5M per in cap for a player that cannot handle pressure and unknown return without a trade sweetener.

Cool story bro. We still don't have 5.5 million in cap space, we also have nothing to lose in hoping Patrick becomes at least a third line defensively responsible centre.
You're effort in this thread exceeds anyone else bro, step back from the keyboard.
It's good to have hopes heh?
That's the only thing left in Patrick's case. The guy is done, has shown no progression, and is 1 concussion away from never playing again.
Drouin, even with his flaws, has a ton more value, and I'm int he group thay think thay we should jistexpose him to seattle, that goes to show what NP is...

We may be the last city in North America a skilled headcase like Drouin should come to if you want him to succeed.

talent wise sure, but, i'd rather have Patrick ...at least he only misses games due to injury.
he may never be a top end player, but, can fill a bottom 6 role. Drouin is ruined, which is a shame, because he had exciting skills (and I remember plenty of people/reporters/scouts had him 1st overall ahead of MacKinnon).
Tripod
I hate this team
Every year....except this year.
And last year.
And 4 years ago.
So 3 out of the last 4 years he has not paced for 50 pts....let alone up to 60.
Reality is the Habs are playing the most important game of their season tonight, and Droiun is not available due to personal reasons. We have no idea what those reasons are and how it impacts his future.
Patrick at less than 1 million is more valuable than Drouin at 5+ even though when comparing just on ice, Drouin is better given Patrick's awful season. The Flyers can use the 4.5 million in cap space between the 2 to help the team more than Drouin would....and just keep Patrick to see if his 1st offseason to train in years makes a big difference.
Drouin's a fragile little cap dump. I'd rather have Patrick. At least his contract isn't atrocious.
Philadelphia Ducks
Win it for Ed
No thanks. As others have said this is purely based on contract. Drouin is obviously better atm but not interested in that contract.
