Go Habs Go
Exactly. Way too early to tell. But if this is the version of Drouin that we get then I'm ok with the trade regardless of Sergachev. Drouin so far this year has been excellent despite the inconsistency.
for me it will come down to what Drouin brings vs what Sergachev could have brought. Right now we badly need a Sergachev in our system vs what Drouin brings since we at least some some depth on the wings in Gallagher, Lehkonen, Tatar vs very little at LD aside from hoping Mete can put up some points.
But if Drouin is putting up 70ish points a year that will go a long way to helping this team get back to hopefully being a contender again.
That said we also need to see what is the "new" NHL. Right now it's freaking insane, Rantanen, Mackinnon, Kucherov have 131 points between them in 28, 28, and 29 games. They are on pace for 135 to 119 pts. Drouin as of today is tied for 48th in the NHL in points yet he's on pace for 73 pts. Last year 73 pts would put him 31st in the NHL in points. So we'll see what happens, does this high scoring last all season and beyond?
