Yes. Drouin is shit period, he cost you more than he helps you win games with him trying to be Kovy, Sergachev will be better in the future.The guy who’s been terrible this year and is on the verge of being sent down?
Sergachev has 0.5ppg, 2 pp points and is +4 in six games. He's also three years younger than Drouin.The guy who’s been terrible this year and is on the verge of being sent down?
It's called being exposed. He looks just as bad as that 5 on 5 but there are more bodies out there so it is difficult for others to see but not me lol.
I think in watching Drouin that his only real focus when he is on the ice is to try and beat guys one on one or one on three and outside of that it appears that he does not care about much else.Yeah well I thought he would look better as he can use his speed and his skills more freely. It turns out he loses the puck more often and he looks lost when he has to play defense :/
His contract also points to the fact that he should bring a little bit more than he does. I honestly think though that what we see is what we get from him.Sergachev has 0.5ppg, 2 pp points and is +4 in six games. He's also three years younger than Drouin.
When Drouin was in his second pro season he pouted and demanded a trade and generally was bad all around. He was traded away after his third season. His fourth season was mediocre. He's now in his fifth season.
Kovalev did all of that **** before the Cup (year 2 of his career) and well before the 90 point season (only had 1). Players who have that in their game tend to always have it. Drouin is fine, the micro-analyzing of his game well lead to insane highs and lows. It did with Kovalev too. The forum used to ****ing trash Kovalev after bad games and praise the hell out of him after good ones, now, in hindsight he's obviously remembered very fondly. With Drouin, he's fun to watch. His decision making isn't as bad as people imply and he can handle the puck at high speeds. He needs to use his shot more but either way, no one will care about the highs and lows if he produces. People are on edge because of the lack of production last year. He needs a 65-75 point season to justify this all.
With that said, he's got 5 points in 7 games. 4 points on the PP and 1 on a penalty shot. He NEEDS to be an impact player 5 on 5.

3 points in 6 games and a +4. Doubt he is getting sent down. Dmen take longer to develop, and he has been incredible at such a young age.The guy who’s been terrible this year and is on the verge of being sent down?

All that said & you acknowledge he's ineffective offensively unless given prime ice time...
Kovalev had 1 95pt season, followed by two more years averaging well over a ppg... Sorry I wasn't specific statistically, point remains he was an impactful offensive player to a degree that, thus far, Drouin shows no indication of being (despite, by all indications, putting in an honest effort... Which Kovalev at various times in his career was guilty of not doing).
To be fair, Kovy had his 95pts season at the age of 27....at 26 he had 66pts....prior to that never been over 58
So far Drouin at 23 years old is .58 ppg and kovy at the same age was .62
What's the production at even strenght for both players? .. and production/icetime?
Galchenyuk > drouin

Galchenyuk = Drouin.... Which is not good news.
