Calling me ignorant because you think I don't know the situation is a really fragile argument. Personally I consider 99.8% of the world as idiots so I could careless if majority of "fanbases" are on Drouin's side. I'm not saying that Yzerman/Cooper get any benefit of doubt, they made a player request a trade. That speaks for itself, but you're going to sit there and honestly tell me that Drouin deserved to play in the NHL after he was draft, deserved to play 82 games last year, deserves to play 82 games this year as well, deserves to get first line minutes, and deserves to get a letter as well?
He was under developed physically the first year which is why they sent him back to juniors. Wasn't NHL ready last year, but still played 70 effin NHL games. And played 19 games this year before publicly announcing that he has asked for a trade. And he only has 3 points in 7 games in the AHL, so it's not like he's heating up like Rantanen down there either. As I said, he hasn't done anything to deserve to get anything.
Come on man, its common sense. The median salary for Petroleum Engineering is 130,280 US Dollars based on studies from 2012. Do you think after finishing your degree for petroleum engineering with absolutely zero experience, but a great GPA you deserve to start at 130K? No ****in' way, you start at 70 to 80,000 and work your way up to 130,000 when you get enough experience. Drouin is basing all his nonsense from his 3rd overall position and how he deserves to have certain accommodations. This is how people become spoiled and childish.
Okay, a few thing. This isn't about dollars and cents. So you can't really argue that. This is about a player who got drafted and feels he's not put in a position to succeed. If a corporation hires you but not for what you applied for after a few chances you meet expectations but with growing pains, they send you back to **** duties. After a while you get fed up with the lack of opportunity, is it not within your right to move to a new organization? He owes them nothing, just as they don't owe him 1st line minutes.
Most fans are delusional... the whole the team comes first has gotten people thinking irrationally. I liked that one guy on the main board who said to send him to the worst team in the NHL out of spite.I don't really buy that you have to "earn the right to ask for a trade".
