And Drouin's level of usefulness in the last month is comparable to Yamcha's.
Vegeta only pushed himself because Goku was better, which led to a wounded ego. Imagine a Vegeta who never met Goku. Cocky but with no drive because he thinks he's already top dog (or that Freiza is just too much to even bother)
It's not a contract year for Drouin, so he won't work hard. But when that turns around, he'll probably pull a 1PPG season but then flop after his payday.
Marchessault was a undrafted free agent. Drouin a 3rd overall pick. Goku was a low class Saiyan. Vegeta was of royal blood
Marchessault gets called up instead of Drouin. Drouin pouts and throws a fit.
The events that led to Jonathan Drouin's trade request - TheHockeyNews
Drouin does well in the playoffs, but hindsight shows that he wanted a carrot at the time, because he doesn't play like that in a state of complacency, which Marc Bergevin quickly gave to him upon arrival in Montreal.
3. Drouin was scratched during the playoffs in favor of ‘black ace’ Jonathan Marchessault.
Marchessault, a black ace, was up with the Lightning during their second-round series with the Montreal Canadiens because Syracuse, Tampa’s farm team, was eliminated from the playoffs. Cooper went with Marchessault, who had two NHL games to his name, instead of Drouin when Ryan Callahan required an emergency appendectomy. Marchessault had enjoyed a strong AHL year, but sitting a player of Drouin’s talent level for a big Game 6 matchup was a shock.
2016-2017. Marchesaault leaves Tampa and posts a 30 goal season while getting to play with the legendary Jagr along with Florida's top liners. Drouin posts 21 goals and 33 assists on a stacked team.
2017-2018. Marchessault lands in Vegas and helps lead an expansion team to the Cup Finals with a stupendous 75 point season with the sleeper 1C William Karlsson and forever average Florida teammate Reilly Smith as his linemates. Drouin lands in Montreal at the expense of a 1D prospect for Montreal, a minor loss since Montreal has an extraordinary track record of drafting Dmen to trade away to other teams to help them contend for the Cup. Drouin is thrown into the center role and shows that not only is he unfit as a center, he leaks goals against more than an incontinent senior citizen defensively. Montreal has a disaster and sucks bad enough to draft THE REAL CENTER Jesperi Kotkaniemi.
2018-2019. Marchessault's production drops but still currently has 57 pts, which is still superior to Drouin's career high. Drouin started off like he would break 60 points, but an epic cold streak rivaling that of Andrei Kostitsyn prior to being traded to Nashville materialized down the stretch as the Habs were playing a playoff run. Drouin joins Jeff Skinner in being forwards in 2018-2019 who started off like they would hit career highs but brutally regressed to the mean.
Marchessault has had more or superior accomplishments than Drouin in every facet of hockey and personally has outperformed Drouin every year. Hell, Marchessault has already married and Drouin is still a bachelor. Even in terms of mate value, Marchessault is the better conqueror.
Goku Black said it best. Vegeta(Drouin) is just an appetizer. To a casual, he can be used to show what skilled players can do. But for a skill player who CONSTANTLY AWES, he falls way short. He can't even beat Marchessault, much less elite wingers like Patrick Kane, who is the gold standard of wingers in this league.
