How many points will Jonathan Drouin score in the 2023-24 season?

[Ceremony]

Lots of posters in the current main board thread suggesting the Avalanche's depth is terrible. I'd like to collect some receipts.

50+ if he stays healthy

50+ if he stays healthy

Unfortunately that has been a mighty struggle for him.

 

[banks]

21-30, based on recent struggles and factoring in some time missed for injuries.

I kind of wish I had voted a bit higher, though. I still kind of believe in the guy.

 

[WarriorOfGandhi]

80.

In the ECHL.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

I'd be shocked if he played more than 50 games. But I'd say 35pts if he plays 50 games. The guy has elite skill, just isn't always checked in mentally.

This is a great one! I voted 11-20 i predict it will be very similar to his 18-19 season (18+35). And if he gets that on a 825k deal i think Avs are more than happy.

Edit: ffs it was points not goals...

 

[habsterr]

Dude is softer than butter, sucks and will get injured. 11-20 points

 

[HockeyWooot]

30 something in 60 something games

 

[ijuka]

Last 4 seasons, 15 23 20 29 points

So I went with 20-29.

I get that Drouin may not work out
I get also that he may get injured/not play 82 games

But if he plays 82 games - those ranges are a joke. He's very talented. I could see him having a career year of ~60-70+ points. I voted 50+

No he is not. Not anymore.

You will see.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

You will see.

He paced for 41 points while shooting 2.9% on a terrible Montreal team.

I'd be shocked if his 82 game scoring pace is less than 50 points in Colorado. With the right linemates I could see him scoring at a 60-80 point pace.

I'm a Habs fan so I've followed him for years. He's disappointed a lot - for a multitude of reasons, many of which are his own fault - but I always felt he'd be a perfect fit in Colorado.

I think he will surprise. We'll have to wait and see.

 

[JohnLennon]

After watching him for six years, I don't have faith he's able to hold his spot on the first line.

From watching both players for the majority of their careers, Lehkonen > Drouin

I voted 31-40 points. That all said, I like Drouin a lot and I'd love to be proven wrong. He deserved much better than he got in MTL.

Drouin is not a very good hockey player, he has obvious skill and is a good passer but in an Hoffman fashion, something is missing. That kind of player has to be sheltered to not cost you too much. The game is a lot more than points. Details eventually bring points, but maybe for some teammates rather than yourself

Drouin is there to patch a hole for the Avs, hard to find better at $825,000

 

[dirtydanglez]

55 pts or equivalent pace.

wouldnt surprise be to see him get dropped down the depth chart either tho. bednar doesnt like a passenger

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Hey, this poll isn't about Alex Newhook!!

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

More than 50. He’s always been a capable point producer, and now he’ll get to play with two of the best players in the NHL.

 

[WillardJFredricks]

I'll say low 50's (assuming he plays a full-ish season) but I still stupidly hold out hope that he'll figure it out and utilize his skill. If he does, I think 65+ is possible, easily (but I doubt that will ever happen).

 

[Stive Morgan]

21-30 in 50 something games.

 

[Captain97]

He'll pace for 55 points/82 games. Health is the question for sure.

I'm pretty certain that Drouin has never played a full 82 game season in his career.

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

We've been hearing about this f***in' guy and his potential since before he was drafted. Shit or get off the pot.

I'm gonna say 21-30.

Drouin is onw of the wrost goal scorers I've ever seen for a skilled forward

He is a career 13 goal guy I believe (82 game pace).

He can get 55-65 pts likely but it will come via 45-50 assists
