I just have this feeling he's primed for a breakout campaign next season. Drouin-Suzuki-Caufield. Watch that line, it's gonna be one of the best in the NHL.
I never compare drouin type of player versus Suzuki like you mentionned. I compared theirs « status » in their club respectively. Drouin. You like or not. Was value like a futur all star winger and many pretty sure Yzerman did received a lot of calls for him cause every Gm knew there was a problem in Tampa. . Making 53 pts at 21 years old. Odds are favorable. Let alone drouin issue off ice. Caufield make 55 point next year (will be 21) and pretty sure you won’t trade him. Sergachev was the price at that time. thats sad, but you woudlnt get drouin for a 3rd pick at that timeFirst of all Drouin and Suzuki are nothing alike. Drouin is purely an offensive perimeter player. Suzuki is a two-way C who doesn't shy away from trafic.
Secondly, Drouin was playing for an offensive powerhouse on a line with Kucherov. Suzuki is the one who actually makes the success of his line. He performs with anyone at anytime. He scores goals. He makes plays. He backchecks.
Then, quality of both players aside, Tampa had like a gazillion of offensive prospects in the pipeline. Montreal has nothing in the system that even comes close to Suzuki.
Finally, Sergachev and Broberg are nothing alike. Sergachev has way more tools and upside than Broberg will ever have.
So yeah. I think it's a poor comparaison.

Friendly wager that he stays and puts up 70 points next year?Good one. There is no way this guy is back. He will either be taken by Seattle or traded. And then, maybe, he'd rebound.
5.5m better used elsewhere.Friendly wager that he stays and puts up 70 points next year?
I don’t think he’s moved either. I think he’s either back on the ice with the CH or placed on LTIR to get the help he deserves. I don’t see any circumstance where he is moved tbh.Friendly wager that he stays and puts up 70 points next year?

He has played in the NHL for 7 years...............and he is primed for a breakout next year? OK...I just have this feeling he's primed for a breakout campaign next season. Drouin-Suzuki-Caufield. Watch that line, it's gonna be one of the best in the NHL.
He has never done this.............never.Friendly wager that he stays and puts up 70 points next year?

Would love to see him gone............how do we pull that off? Offer a 2nd with him?Not probable but I have been on the record at saying Drouin may be a late on the maturity scale. Then he goes on LTIR due to mental illness issues? . Age 26 season coming up and if he's with the Habs, I would expect another 50 pts season (+/-).
I strongly feel Drouin needs to be on a team with more physical forwards with size and especially at center. I think he slides in well with a team like that. Might be Seattle and I feel the Habs will try their best to make that happen for Drouin and for the Habs. A change is required but can they pull it off? Not sure.

Still not convinced that Ron Francis will bite on a soft perimeter style player...here's hoping.A 3rd might work but if we were Seattle's GM, we are looking at those two 2nd's and demand one of them. Start with the 3rd (or two 3rds) and then possibly move to the 2nd. I'd be down with that.

Wow, quite the kind soul you have.Not probable but I have been on the record at saying Drouin may be a late on the maturity scale. Then he goes on LTIR due to mental illness issues? ..

They are facts. I have supported him and I still do to some degree. You need to pay attention a bit more. Saying that I felt he was going to be late on the maturity scale (NHL player maturity that is) but he goes on LTIR right around his prime (age 26) are facts. The timing of this is not good when you consider he is 26 and should be a fully matured as a NHL player. I have my doubts he bust out on our team bud.
I don't think he sucks like others do but at this stage, I feel he needs a change. Maybe he can bust out on another team without our fan base following him around like a black cloud all the time.
You know the way your other post was written insinuate that mental issues are due to a lack of maturity?
"He was going to be late on the maturity scale but he goes on LTIR". Bro, mental illness affects people of all ages. Mental illness also can affect people physically. I'm glad Jo to0k this time off, it's clear he needed it if he felt it was necessary to leave the sport and team he loves. I think he'll be much better off for it. That's why I'm saying I think he's primed for a breakout campaign next season.They are facts. I have supported him and I still do to some degree. You need to pay attention a bit more.

Not all players can overcome this type of pressure and how our fan base has been watching for him to make his next mistake.

The fact his teammates didn't speak of him once in the playoffs is telling. Normally, there would've been support, saying things like "we're doing this for Joe" but nothing. This tells me Drouin said unsavory things about either management and/or his teammates when it all went down and left in warmup.
