The problem with Drouin has never been about 20 game stretches.If Drouin comes back strong, then he might be our best acquisition in this off-season. Don't forget that Drouin was pretty good in his first 20 games of the last season.

«Il allait super bien pour vrai. Il avait l’air en forme. Il venait de s’entraîner. J’avais un bâton et il l’a signé. J’ai pris une photo avec lui. Il a pris son temps, il s'est même replacé les cheveux avant la photo. On a jasé pendant 5-6 minutes.»
«Il avait l’air en shape, insiste-t-il. Je l’ai croisé plusieurs fois dans ma vie et il avait l’air comme d’hab. Ça faisait un petit bout que je ne l’avais pas vu, comme il n’était pas vraiment disponible dernièrement.»
From the article in the paper that guy is a major autograph hound/stalker, he found him cause he spotted Drouin's parked car, his trunk was full of Drouin game used equipment.......
When we had Desjardins and Schneider Brisebois was perfectly slotted on the 2nd or 3rd pair. You're right after Houle dismantled the D and Brisebois became the number one he was in over his head I think.

Recall Stamkos-gate? Where the hockey rumor site dude followed Stamkos around Mtl (his UFA season) w his camera dressed in all black - hiding behind a lamppost or nearest object whenever he thought he was getting spotted by Stamkos?lol. This is probably a bigger reason why Drouin had a breakdown (if he had one) than any criticism the media have made towards his lack of productivity in the last year or so.
I mean. I can understand hounding/stalking players for autographs when you're a teen or a child. But as an adult male? For f*** sake. Grow up. At least leave the guy alone for the rest of the summer.

Bizarre, eh?That's creepy af. This feels like harassment too.
You're right I've been doing my best to forget the dark times .Savard traded both Schneider and Desjardins. The dismantling started with Serge, not Rejean.

I like to believe the true dismantling started when we traded 6'3" 220lb John LeClair (massive playoff stud) and Point Stud 6'1" 205lb Eric Desjardins (and LW Dionne 6'0" 195lb) for Dr. Mark Recchi 5'10" 185lb.Savard traded both Schneider and Desjardins. The dismantling started with Serge, not Rejean.
Only Rucinsky ended up being a decent pick up. mind you, I did think Joss Thibeault was going to be the next Roy, so I'm not one to talk.And, before being fired, Savard was about to trade Roy + ???? to Colorado for Owan Nolan and Stef Fiset. Would had been better than Rucinsky, Kovalenko and Thibeault.....
And Savard did trade LeClair and Desjardins to get Recchi......

At least Stamkos got a kick out of it, but can’t imagine players want that in their everyday life...which doesn’t help matters in luring players to the Habs

I was a huge fan of Turgeron (still have my Turgeon jersey). He had 96 points in his first full season with the Habs then got traded the next year. I wish he had played longer with the Habs he could have made those 90's teams more bearable to watch.I was too young to remember exactly how the Schneider trade worked out.
But I remember liking Schneider and Muller for Malakhov and Pierre Turgeon. Was it actually a bad deal? As a kid I just remember liking Malakhov and Turgeon for their offensive flair.
Hould later had to trade Malakhov due to salary (and I think did well getting a young Souray). The Turgeon trade was another horrible blunder by Houle - first he couldn't appease his super star ego to share center duties with Koive and Damphouse. Second the actual deal was really bad - Murray Baron and Shayne Corson.
Let's hope his wrist is better and he can shoot again. Can't play in the NHL with a less-than-Mete muffin.
Honestly I wouldn't want Drouin back if I were one of the guys who went to the SCF. Don't think he adds anything but headaches to the lineup
Wasn’t really salary, it was more lack of desire the org got fed up with - Malakhov once got hurt & said he couldn’t play, yet was caught on the ski slopes in Tremblant with the family on game day.I was too young to remember exactly how the Schneider trade worked out.

He starts every season strong and then peters out.
