Player Discussion Jonathan Drouin - So comman Edition

[Wats]

But which would you choose if you also added in the players we still have from your list & the guys they were traded for?

The list that actually resulted in on ice success while being young. If only there's a GM that added to it.

I'm more disappointed with the achievements of Jonathan Drouin than I am with the failure of the Habs to make the playoffs.

He is improving

You know Drouin has had a very bad season when.........

You know Drouin has had a very bad season when.........

They haven’t made him the “face of the franchise” yet.

 

[Habs Icing]

And now he’s been given a chance to remedy the situation......it’s Molson’s team, he can really do whatever he wants with it.

For me personally, if he can’t find a centre this off season, I’ll want to find someone that can.

Two top 6 centers. This team needs two. Getting just one is like digging a hole in the ocean.

....when a selected few HF posters get all girly-giddy about his face off percentages.

 

[Habs Icing]

I stopped moving the goalposts 2-3 seasons ago............now we are waiting 1 more offseason, for this guy to eat lucky charms, and become magically good at his job?
I understand you still have some patience, but I don't...the third time my head hit the brick wall, I realized that there was just no reason for it...the man is just not good at his job.

I heard fish was brain food.

 

[Habs Icing]

Didn't you say last summer you were done with him if he didn't use the 8M?

But he did use the 8 mil. He lined Molson's pockets with that money.

This team is such a joke - where are we even going to find 1 centre let alone 2. Don't worry though because Poeling is coming in 5 years! When we'll be paying Carey 10+million at the end of his knees, errr I mean career.

It's bad when the local media can only talk about his faceoffs after all season, they were so ready to anoint him as the new Guy Lafleur. You want to know the difference with Drouin in the last few games? His compete level is higher and that's it, it has been lacking all season.

Worse production and still lost defensively. We got different definitions of improving.

Mtl is stuck with him, cant afford to trade him at a discount. All anyone can hope for is he trades his silver spoon for a hockey stick

He’d be fine at wing with a good center.

The best time I have seen us win face offs this year is when Drouin gets tossed from the circle and Galchenyuk stands in for him.

If he doesnt grow up he wont be fine. He needs to mature. Thats what is holding him back.

Eating crow?

Forcing him into a position he's not suited for certainly isn't helping.

11 for 18 on draws tonight

If drouin can be our 2nd C that would leave us with only 1 Center missing

Yes yes... He will eventually become good enough to be our DD replacement! Rejoice!

 

[ImNeverWrong]

Yes yes... He will eventually become good enough to be our DD replacement! Rejoice!

Lol even DD had a 60 pt season as a no.1 center. Can drouin even get to 40 in the same role? what a disaster.

This Galchenyuk vs Drouin thingy is one of the weirdest fan driven storylines I've ever seen.
