Player Discussion #92 Jonathan Drouin

[CauZuki]

I admit that losing Radulov is going to hurt quite a bit. This would have been a fantastic move if we were able to keep him but you're right that we aren't any better today than we were last year. I'm really hoping MB has a backup plan for all this because it seems we're just spinning tires right now. He's gonna have to get creative or hope that we have surprises at camp.

I think our only hope is for the team to mesh together and ride the chemistry to a good season + playoffs.

None of those questions apply , since I am not in that category so there is nothing for me to justify. I liked the trade my only nitpick was on adding a pick , which we can disagree on but doesn't change the fact that I wasn't one of the posters that argued that potential mattered with the Sergachev trade since Drouin has imo equivalent potential and is closer to reaching it.

So once again , I repeat can you please provide where I dodged your question? I'm well aware that I can make some extreme claims but I'm not known for not owning up to my arguments.

That's not your only nitpick with the trade though...I'm 95% sure we've debated this trade before, and part of your position was that we traded a blue chip prospect, our only blue chip prospect, for a player who doesn't fill our biggest need (center).

That was only in the context of not retaining Radulov. Since that was when I was talking about Bergevin summer (Macro) and not the granular Sergachev for Drouin trade (Micro).

Context is quite important.

It STILL doesn't explain how on one hand...

- you're telling people not to get overly excited about prospects (including Drouin as a prospect strangely enough)

Yet on the other hand...

- you're lamenting the loss of a PROSPECT, for a PROVEN player

This doesn't jive...context is important, but it's irrelevant in the absence of logic.
