Eklund Rumor: Jonathan Drouin in Play

[sharpeye97]

Terrible for the leafs

I hope this is sarcasm.

 

[drew5580]

E. Kane, Hudson Fasching, Cody Franson & a top 3 protected 1st

for

Drouin, Garrison & J.T. Brown

1. DD contact is up this year so not a big deal to tampa
2. not needed in terms of cap hit A (habs can fit 1 mil)
3. DD is being added out of spite for him

Um cause DD is off the books at the end of this season Mr Research

Part of the reason for the Bishop trade was so the lightning dont go over the cap with bonsus's THIS SEASON. Thanks I did mine maybe you should look into doing the same.

Not justifying the trade valuation but DD's contract is done at the end of this season so ya, research is good.

It certainly is.

 

[CupsOverCash]

Not happening. Drouin has been our best player this year.

 

[Reinhart]

I call hogwash.

There was a chance for teams to obtain Drouin last year when things were rocky.

If I am Yzerman, there is no way I am even listening to an offer unless a GM wants to stupidly over-pay. I would bet my house Drouin doesn't move this off-season.

 

[robertocarlos]

Jets are going to lose Trouba. probably for nothing. I wanted to trade Trouba for Drouin when Drouin was in the doghouse, sitting at home, and Trouba was holding out.

 

[bert]

Only problem Senators fan would have witih this trade is that it just creates a hole on the D.

No problem with this deal whatsoever. The D can handle a shift if it means aquiring a player like Drouin. They can also pick up a depth rental for the rest of the season, Ottawa is losing one of Ceci or Methot in expansion it makes sense to make a deal like this.

 

[robertocarlos]

Definitely don't need another winger, especially at the cost of our best all around dman.

Trade MP for D man.

 

[mja]

Just a friendly reminder that Eklund is really Dwayne Keith Klessell (keyboardist for Grey Eye Glances), aka the the guy to the far left in the photo below.

 

[oooooooooohCanada]

I would give Meier+Goldobin+1st for Drouin but unfortunately this is Eklund and Drouin isn't going to be traded.

Also TB wouldn't be moving a young stud for a quantity package..

 

[57special]

Not happening. Drouin has been our best player this year.

Better than Hedman? Kucherov?

 

[Draft Dynasty]

Sergachev, gallagher, 1st vs Drouin, Boyle ??

 

[Rschmitz]

Some really bad proposals for drouin

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

This is just click bait

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

I don't see them moving Drouin, I would be really shocked if Yzerman did.

He was the Bolts best forward in the playoffs last year and the best forward this year with Kucherov.

 

[CupsOverCash]

Better than Hedman? Kucherov?

Maybe you are right about Hedman but I think he's been better than Kuch. Kuch hasn't been as clutch this year.

 

[SDShark]

Hahahahahaha

Also TB wouldn't be moving a young stud for a quantity package..

omg!! Did you call this a "quantity package"???
Thank you for filling my Monday morning with laughter

 

[Butchered]

Maybe you are right about Hedman but I think he's been better than Kuch. Kuch hasn't been as clutch this year.

You have to have clutch situations to be clutch. When you're scraping the basement, what is there to be "clutch" for? Being the not last place team?

 

[JoeyBeans]

I hope this is sarcasm.

Meh, watched Drouin play junior for 4 years, Dropping Bozak would hurt the leafs in faceoffs.

 

[VinikToWinIt]

I've actually had a weird feeling that Drouin will get traded. Hope I'm wrong since I would be furious, but Yzerman is no stranger to shocking moves.

We'd need a right defenseman back so...

Something around Faulk..?

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Hoping a Drouin and Koekkoek for Trouba deal happens.

 

[Hmmm]

Would like him here in Colorado for sure, Barrie + ??

 

[Neuf]

Definitely don't need another winger, especially at the cost of our best all around dman.

Love to have him but Jets will only trade trouba for trouba/left trouba

 

[PEZZ]

Thank god its eklund, we can officially rule out Drouin getting traded.

Pretty much what this guy said.

 

[untouchable21]

A right handed defenseman. And it should be pretty damn good if we would give up Drouin.

First off, let me say I call BS on Drouin being in play. Tampa is my 2nd/3rd favorite team along with Washington.

But for discussion sake, setting Jets NEEDS aside, a Trouba for Drouin like trade is what I'd be looking at if Trouba won't commit to Winnipeg long term. Then deal Wheeler to shore up the defense.
