To be honest, I believe Sergachev is a dud. I was never a fan of his. I don't think he's going to be a Subban or anything at all. The guy does not think the game at a fast rate, lacks hockey IQ, and I just don't believe he pans out. I think dealing him when we did was the best thing we could have done.
Drouin to me is one of the most exciting young forwards in the game. I think he busts out next year. I think in a years time, we will be looking back at this trade as a major, major steal.
Still, that does not take away from the fact the Radulov situation was grossly mishandled.
Offersheet Draisaitl. MB should be desperate. Draisaitl and Drouin would give us a pair of 22 year old dynamic game changers up front. To me that is the move that MB can make to salvage the Radulov bungle.
Not sold on Drouin, but trading him for Sergechev is actually smart to me. He has potential , but I think serge may be a little fragile for the league physically, despite his size. He was injured before the habs sent him down and there was something in his game the clearly didn't like with his second call up and watching the memoral cup-OR it was a PR move and the bait looked good to TB.
