Hamonic - Duchene - Drouin love triangle lol (His rumor is Duchene for Drouin)


Tampa gets Hamonic

Colorado gets Drouin

Islanders get Duchene

Seeing Drouin's name just makes me shake my head. If only Sakic had the balls to take a chance on him when he was holding out in the AHL.

Other than the fact that it's Eklund so it's not true, 3-way trades very rarely happen so normally I'd instantly brush it off but Yzerman pulled one at the deadline so I guess he's capable of doing it.

While the price would have been cheaper than now... it wasn't like there was a bargain to be had their either. People would have freaked at the cost.

One thing to remember with Drouin is that you are going to be paying a ton for potential, and making him a core player as a wing if you acquire him. He is a good player, but don't expect him to be a bargain in any way.

He hasn't really done three team trades, but hes made follow on trades with the assets he acquired. I can't remember exactly what it was this most recent time, but he did it with us and Detroit flipping Downie for Quincey for a 1st rounder from Detroit.

 

[NOTENOUGHJTCGOALS]

You don't know much about the 2015 picks then

I'd love to be wrong but I've heard this song before...

I don't mind being the eternal pessimist

I think the risk/reward with him and MacKinnon is worth it. Especially since they have already made a huge bet on MacK leading this team as a center. You do everything you can to help MacK realize his potential.

Has that price tag ever been leaked? People keep referencing it like they know what it was but I've never heard it.

Rantanen MacK Drouin line would be the best line in NHL.

Then settled down after he became the best player on the team.

If they all hit their full potential I could see it.

I've never heard specifics, but I remember talk of it being surprisingly light.

I thought someone told me once it was something like Holden and a 2nd. That cannot be the price hench is talking about.

Yeah, Yzerman was never going to sell Drouin for cheap because of his temper tantrum. The idea that we could have gotten him for nothing back then is silly. If that were true, he wouldn't be on the Bolts anymore. It's the same reason why Sakic held on to Duchene at the TDL. Real GMs don't take crappy deals just because of momentary fluctuations in value.

I kept saying Barrie for Drouin, DeAngelo and Cap Dump (can't remember who). I don't know if thats asking too much, but I wouldn't have freaked at the cost.

MacK would still be the best player on the team.

I dont know if it's true or not but when anyone ever references how cheap it was they are referring to 2016 1st, Holden, Wood, conditional pick based on playing time.

 

[TruePowerSlave]

Rantanen MacK Drouin line would be the best line in NHL.

McDavid outscores two of those by himself.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Rantanen MacK Drouin line would be the best line in NHL.

It would be damn exciting thats for sure.

 

[lonelybadger]

I don't like all these drouin rumors. They are getting my hopes up.

 

[Drij]

probably not. no.

Henchy isn't "people", he knows things.

Watch this deal go down and Bednar puts Drouin on Soda'a wing or C a line with Comeau and Colborne

 

[Foppa]

On any other franchise, MacK and Drouin would be an unstoppable offensive force. On the Avs, MacK and Drouin would amount being the league's most exciting 50-point duo.
