Who would you have? Drouin or Ehlers?

[Menzinger]

Elhers.

 

[kwikstep]

I haven't seen as much of Drouin, but Ehlers is fun to watch and a super nice guy.

 

[Callum]

Ehlers for consistency purposes.

Drouin if you want to don't mind risking it slightly for a higher reward.

 

[winnipegger]

Ehlers is on pace for 82 goals so I'll take him

 

[DEANYOUNGBLOOD17]

Ehlers is just breaking out now and as I said in pre-season......... He is going to outscore
Laine this year. He had 64 points last year and was so snake bitten ( bad luck). He hit the post 20 plus times and didn't score on about 12 other breakaways. With his speed he is all ways getting break- aways. The bad luck is going to change the other way and the points are going to come in bunches.

Drouin is going get swallowed up under the pressure that is Montreal.

 

[Rinkrat]

I've always been an Ehlers fan and that hasn't changed. Drouin may have better tools, but Ehlers has a better tool box. When MacKinnon, Drouin and Ehlers were in junior MacKinnon and Drouin got more hype, but at the time I wondered if perhaps Ehlers was actually the one who made the other two look good. So far he's done nothing to dissuade me of that hunch.

 

[Brobust]

LOL Drouin doesn't play with Stamkos anymore.

HAD. He's had enough time with Stamkos and other good players on the Lightning and his numbers were never as good as Ehlers. Read a bit more carefully.

He played like 10 games with Stamkos last season

 

[Isaac Nootin]

Ehlers is ahead already, and only scratching the surface.

Drouin was a terrible waste of one of the few valuable Montreal assets. Didn't address any of their current needs.

 

[LeafChief]

Ehlers for me.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Drouin for sure.

He is stuck on a garbage team but he is still insanely skilled.

Ehlers is not that far though.

Close but clear is how I'd put it.

 

[Clode]

Ehlers

 

[Brobust]

He's had 2.5 seasons on the Lightning. His totals have never been that impressive on good offensive teams. We'll see how he does on a bad offensive team.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

He's had 2.5 seasons on the Lightning.

Yea, but he was playing with Killorn, Filpulla, and Boyle. Not Stamkos.

 

[Brobust]

14-15 - played over 220 minutes with Stamkos
15-16 - spent the most time with Stamkos

Last year was a career high in points because Kucherov was on fire on the PP. Even then, only 53.

He doesn't really come close to Ehlers.

Where did you get these stats?

And 220 minutes is like 16 games with 13 min of ice time. Assuming he played more minutes when he was on Stamkos line, it would be even fewer games.

In 15-16, he only played 21 games. And I doubt he spent most of the time with Stamkos considering he averaged 14:27 of ice time, whereas Stamkos got 19:45 of ice time.

 

[LowLefty]

Like em both but Ehlers upside is huge - his recent play leads me to believe we ain't seen nothin yet

Don't know what you think this means. The forward he played with the most was Stamkos.

Look up naturalstattrick.

The point is that he got his time with Stamkos. Never stuck. Have to wonder why.

Uhhhh, injuries? Lmao.

 

[Brobust]

Injuries last year. What about before. Stamkos played full seasons they previous two years.

 

[Brobust]

Drouin is a very flashy player with mediocre results. And he will never cut it as 1C in the Atlantic. He'll get eaten alive by Eichel, Barkov, Matthews and Stamkos.

 

[PensandCaps]

Injuries last year. What about before. Stamkos played full seasons they previous two years.

And he and Stammer had very good chemistry going before he got hurt.

The year before he was unfairly in the coach's doghouse. Proved it come playoffs, where he was Tampa's best player in the postseason.

 

[RussianGuyovich]

drouin has just never materialized into his potential. it's hard for me to believe, because im a huge drouin fan...but, at this point, the safe bet is to take ehlers.

 

[ek93]

Ehlers for me, though I like Drouin an awful lot.

 

[DaPhazz]

The younger guy that produces more offense

Sure, on an offense packed line...he's the 3rd best player on his line. Bring him in the current habs lineup and 'the younger guy that produced more offense' will not produce shit.
