I don't think Stone is soft but the other two IMO are not exactly what I would call tough, physical or gritty.
You know a lot of people on here thought that Filatov was this highly skilled top line 60 pt player & he turned into a mediocre KHL player. There was also hope for Petersson, remember he was going to be on a line with Spezza for the next decade & Conacher was a 50 pt player for some. I just don't see any evidence that Drouin is going to be a superstar in the NHL, my guess is he may never make it to the NHL & could end up in Europe or the KHL.
A number of people on here think Prince should be playing & yet the coach doesn't think so for some reason & I would think he wouldn't like Drouin either who is defensively irresponsible. I would rather go after a sure NHL player like Okposo who has an NHL resume than take a risk & lose assets for an unknown.
Oh thank god I read this a second time I almost lost my mind, I actually thought you were saying to trade Paul for Drouin. I like what I see from Paul so far, I have high hopes for this guy.
Haha I was saying it sarcastically. I no doubt trade Paul straight up for drouin
Drouin is already a .5 ppg guy. He's already a.l top 6 winger. Do you really think Drouin is some failure lol.
I'm telling you now. If only paul was the price for drouin. Drouin would be an Ottawa senator.
Just because he's small (he's not that small) doesn't mean he's going to end up in the khl or like Peterson (never thought he was given enough of a chance) or filatov (kinda think the same thing). He's not in the situation because he's a bust. He hasn't done a single thing go anyone to question his draft status.
