Value of: Drouin

[Eltuna]

I’m in the minority but I’d still love him on the Avs. Would fit the teams speed identity and has obvious chemistry with MacKinnon. I know most fans don’t want to split up the Landeskog MacK Rantanen line (and for good reason) but I’ve always maintained that Landeskog might be more useful on a shutdown line down the road. Let
Drouin Mack Rantanen take all the easy O zone shifts while letting Landeskog play more to his strengths shutting down the other team. What would Montreal fans think is a fair return?

Have to think they’d want Kerfoot back

That’s the problem. We paid Sergachev for him so there’s no way we’re going to sell low only a year after we acquired him. He’s had two bad games so far but he was flying during the training camp.

He is so talented and gifted offensively. He just wasn’t able to put it all together just yet. We’re a young team with a bright future and we (Drouin) still have time to figure it out.

In my book, he’s an untouchable

Typical Habs fans always looking to sell low on our players. You guys embarrass me.

 

[Iceman]

Just another 4 years left after this year at $5.5m... bargain.

 

[Shad]

He has very little value, I would package him with Alzner and try to get a second round pick.

u smart

 

[PKWeber]

u smart

10 million of dead cap for a second round pick is good deal imo.

This is what people think Bergevin did on Sergachev did the Habs need LHD more (entry level contract) or another small winger

I think we could have gotten a better winger for Sergachev if we really have to deal away a prime LHD prospect to get.....another winger

I see real talent in Drouin and think he's valuable but honestly would have chosen to re-sign Radulov and just keep Sergachev over Drouin.

Also would have kept Markov over Alzner (lols) , all these moves above just masterwork Bergevin great job.

Such a dreadful offseason. Even worse than the one that saw Subban go.

Drouin for Wennberg swap?

As others have touched upon, makes no sense for Montreal to sell low. Keep him on the wing and hope he rebounds.

 

[NHL]

I dont think the Habs want to send away their most skilled player...

 

[strictlyrandy]

Drouin and Weber to Toronto for Nylander so this website can finally explode.

Doesn't it explode every year on draft day?

 

[LMFAO]

Come on Drouin is a decent 2nd liner

Clearly doesn't explode hard enough.

 

[TimeZone]

Every time I watch him play it seems like he still thinks he's playing in the Q. Constantly trying to go 1 on 4....and failing miserably.

Used to be a big fan of him as a prospect, but he's been underwhelming to say the least, and just plain not good since the trade.

 

[tony d]

I remember thinking he was going to be a good 1. Guy's really disappointing, don't know if the Canadiens would get much for him.

 

[goonybird]

He played his best when he had to fight for his spot and wasn't handed everything on a platter.

Oh well, i todaso

Right now Drouin hardly even belongs to the NHL. It's definitely premature to try to dump him though, he showed lots of flashes in the preseason and we just paid a premium to get him. It would be silly to set him available now.

Oh come on. He’s had a great camp and two bad games. Hardly belong in the NHL? Jesus....

Never underestimate HFBoards' ability to neglect sample size. Never.

 

[BatVader]

Habs issues aren’t on the ice.
They’re in the GM office.

Key is "right now". Of course he should be better in the upcoming games but he hasn't done a lot of positive things in these two games. You can't say he's a decent 2nd liner when he hasn't performed like one.

Two bad games = trade him NOW!

The team so far has played well beyond expectations, so the negative nancies HAVE to focus on the single bad thing they can find to get their dose of Habs Bashing. Disgraceful.
