Player Discussion Jonathan Drouin - So comman Edition

[The Gr8 Dane]

He was outclassed all night in that Pittsburg game. Not even close to being a C in this league.

Who was not outclassed last night, against Malkin and Crosby?

 

[MaxDummy]

Grant McCagg or whatever his name is just blocked me for saying the Drouin trade was not needed. How full of himself does this guy is

He's been outclassed 5on5 in 80% of the games easily this year. He's just not a center .. But it can’t hurt him I guess .. Just too bad it hurts the team

 

[MaxDummy]

So many folks fail to understand how great offensive teams inflate stats, and bad offensive teams deflate stats. If the trade never happened, Serg would probably have half his point total, while Drouin would probably have 60-70p with Tampa.

And Drouin was not needed by that "great offensive team" they are great with or without him. Might as well fill a need eh.

Weither Drouin scores 40 points or 60 he isn't driving , he's on the passenger seat.

Drouin actually has a wicked shot, it seems like he’s starting to use it more so that’s a good thing.

Hope he gets to play at the worlds, on the wings.

He’s played better as of late. He’s no center, and he’s going to need a center and line mates to open up ice for him 5v5 even when he’s playing the wing because he’s a slow decision maker and it takes him to long to actually release the puck when he shoots. But atleast he’s showing signs that he won’t be completely useless.

 

[Not The One]

Ohh please it was a bad trade and it will take a huge improvement by Drouin for that to change. it might also mean him getting a heart transplant. If I recall you are the one that was going on calling him the second most talented player after Crosby all summer which is laughable.

Umm I absolutely never did that, I've barely posted here in the last year. But I do think you have to to take into account their respective teams before making definite conclusions. At the time of the trade 90% of the people here were happy with it.

What kind of season do you think Sergachev would have had on the Habs this year?

I'm going along with both the Habs Front Office GM & Asst. GM's and Tampa's GM & Asst,GM's about Drouin's abilities to become a 1st line Center. Much to love about Drouin's Talent, Character & Desire to be the Best, IMHO!!!... Bergevin & Yzerman are two of the Top talent evaluator's in the World, Drouin has played with aplomb under the microscope in the Mecca of Hockey. Not at all like some tried to say about his wanting to leave Tampa, obviously to play only in Montreal.(His lifelong dream, Sergachev was the price, I believe that deal was made when the Habs drafted Sergy.) Now as a lifelong Habs fan, I still love the deal, Drouin will hoist a Stanley Cup for Montreal.(I feel that with every fiber of this Habs fans body.) Watch this young man play, he reminds me of the passion & desire Henri Richard played with as a Habs center & Capt.(I have Henri's autographed Capt.'s picture right alongside Beliveau's & Cournoyer's,) All with Stanley Cups in their pictures, as will Drouin @(Center) like I said. Grant McCagg certainly has earned the right to block anyone(Far more Knowledgeable than armchair GM's like myself), as do all here have the right, despite how some view themselves.

Depends on how the coach uses him. He'd probably given more freedom and opportunities in the second half of the season with all the injuries but I think he would have been one of the nice surprise like Mete was.. but even better. I think he would easily hit 30+pts if used properly.

But again like I said, it depends how the coach uses him. How a kid progress depends a lot on the coach. If he gets benched for a risky play.. the kid will never play with confidence.

I don't even know why you bother making long posts like this. I'm making an exception this time and waste 10 seconds of my life to answer you but nobody cares about your little game.

Lot of people were happy because they thought we were going all in and were going to sign Radulov and Markov after the draft and try to win now. If you try to win now then trading a young 19 years old dman for a skilled guy entering his prime years is not a bad trade even if the dman might be a better player. If you don't try to win now then the evaluation of the trade can be totally different.

Is he legit or joking or...else?

He recently said he wanted to see Plekanec lift the Cup with Toronto and it was a good deal for both sides.

99.9% I believe it's a joke account.

It's been a bit much for at least half a year now.

Weed laced with LSD perhaps.

I don't usually read tbh since his posts are always long and the same

 

[groovejuice]

My post is just telling most of the time when a gm leaves, the advisers leaves too and the new gm brings his 'country club' advisers, lol.

It often happens that way, but it looks like Toronto took a different route. It appears very good so far.

I used to like Grant McCagg but he probably spends too much time arguing on twitter and his comments have been so weird for a while:







I mean wtf Grant.
