Value of: Drouin trades

[Richard88]

Only if you include a 1st round picks. Habs aren't retaining on Drouin to trade him and Beaucage is a dime/dozen prospect - he adds no value.

Yeah but Beaucage has a very french name, that's worth at least a 1st round pick.

Beautiful Cage isn’t a catchy french name. Lemieux, now there is a name I would drop a 1st for!

Anyone with "beau" in their name is worth a 1st to Montreal.

Acquiring Beaucage would be the first step to building the best line in Habs history

Beauviller --- JC Beaudin --- Beaucage
------ Beaulieu ------ N. Beaudin --------

FAKE NEWS

 

[McJedi]

Drouin plus a 2022 second Montreal retains 50% of contract for Beaucage.

Avs may actually hit that offer. Beaucage looking good in the Q but 50% retention is appealing.

I agree, however the ONLY way Drouin is traded in a deal in which the Habs get shafted (salary reduction / take back a capdump) is if Bergevin does it to salvage Drouin's career as a show of humanity (at the expense of the Habs organization). But seeing how they are willing to draft a sex-offender in 1st round, i doubt the organization would show that kind of humanity.

Otherwise, there is no need to do it this season. Drouin has indicated he is ready to return to the Habs this season.

Honestly, it will be a story of interest to see how Drouin handles this upcoming season. How he handles the highs and inevitable lows that will follow him around.

The metro is nasty. Habs will be in a battle for a playoff spot. I don’t think it’s a given you’re a playoff team with the NYI, TML, Bruins and Pitt in the mix. Losing Weber and Danault is no small loss. Can Price play well or will he play disinterested ~90% save percentage hockey? He’s not performing as well in the regular season as he does when the switch goes on come playoff time.

You’d like to think a Cup Finals appearance tames the media and fan base but who are we kidding. If Montreal comes out of the gate with a 2-6-2 record, the pressure will be all over the franchise and this guy.

Surely you understand how ironic this post is right?


"Compher doesn't do anything useful on the ice" DROUIN ISNT EVEN ON THE ICE PERIOD.

Ironic, yes.

But true. JTC is basically useless, a head count.

Drouin is in some deep stuff (some might say substance abuse program), but if he turns it around, he can be a very valuable contributor.

 

[EastVillageBlues]

So is D.

Depends on how his rehab goes, I guess

 

[EastVillageBlues]

Compher is a negative asset but Drouin at a higher number isn’t?

Sure, not sure what you mean by "number"

Montreal's schedule to open the season is very easy so something would have to go seriously wrong in Montreal for them to start 2-6-2.

Other than their 3 games against Toronto, NYR, and Carolina their first 11 games feature 8 games against teams who finished in the bottom 10 last year Buffalo/Detroit x2 /San Jose x2, Seattle, LA, and Anaheim all of whom were bottom 10 teams in the league last year (and Rangers weren't far off).

If they really are at 2-6-2 after that run of games the pressure on that team will be nasty.

Crazy to be thinking about the 2021/2022 season! Seems like just last month the Habs were playing in the finals….

Congratulations on your run to the final, I bet it was an enjoyable ride. I was very happy when you eliminated Vegas

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Drouin right now isn't worth Engvall, because we don't know that Drouin will play

My final was the upset win over the Leafs. Everything after that was gravy. Tampa however is in a class if their own imo.

Kucherov said that Montreal's final was the conference final though? haha

...Kucherov might want to sit out Tampa's first trip to Montreal this season...LTIR, maybe??...

He was drunk on a 24 pack by that point. He would have said anything just to get out of that press room.

 

[DarthProbert]

Kinda inconvenient that people who want to be on my ignore list have to go to the trouble and embarrassment of posting another Drouin to Colorado thread. Let alone the people who then think that because Drouin played with MacKinnon a decade ago that the best line in the league should of course be broken up to accomodate Drouin.

Go back to your video games.

Tampa played the playoffs backwards. The Hardest and best team (Panthers) was the team Tampa beat first. Every following series was against a progressively easier opponent.

Not what I saw. The Islanders were by far the toughest out.

No. No it really doesnt. He is just not that good even healthy. And in a flat cap league.....

Hardest opponent to get past 2 years in a row

It might be an addiction to reading posts on HFBoards that triggered mental health issues. Especially trade offers from Avs fans!

Don’t blame us for breaking him. We just told you he sucks. It’s Habs fans reminding him of this daily that he just couldn’t escape.

 

[BLONG7]

A trade out of Montreal.............is absolutely essential for the player, and the team...........his value, is probably very low, which makes sense since his play was pretty poor.
So be it, the kid needs a fresh start where the fans and media are not driven by hockey 24/7

 

[Habs Halifax]

Thanks. Habs did well with their defensive 1st strategy and we really did contain a lot of offensive stars. Even after this run I felt we were a fringe top 10 team but with Danault and Weber out, I feel we are more like in the 10-20 range again.

Depends on what trades are able to pull off and also the growth of Suzuki, Caufield, KK, Evans, & Romanov

Drouin being shopped by the Habs fan base might not be what Bergevin is actually doing. However, if we get in a trade where we bring in a needed guy with salary for futures... Drouin is the logical guy we sent the other way (cap reasons).
