Player Discussion Jonathan Drouin - Part 5

[Non Player Canadiens]

can't believe we're still taking about Drouinnnnnnnn

 

[NORiculous]

The only way I'd sign Drouin is at league minimum for one year as an experiment to see how he'd react to not having any expectations. Worst comes to worst, he lives out that year in Laval.

Same but I think it would be better for him in Arz or something of the sort.

Three or more times? Why not.

I'd rather give Gurianov a shot at rounding out his game. Gurianov would have to transform his board battles and the things that lead him to turn the puck over. But those seem to me to be transformable aspects of a player's game.

Drouin's errant passes and soft as molasses board play seem to me to be who is and unfixable at this point in his career.

Plus RHP and Ylonen need spots, and we already have useless veterans Gallagher, Hoffman, and Armia getting in the way. Hopefully after not too long, Hoffman and Armia are regulars in the press box.

Why does Drouin still even have a thread here? I completely forgot about him.

 

[JohnTheBaptist]

Goodbye and good luck. Gurianov over Drouin 100%.

It's ridiculous,I wouldn't take him back even if he could cure world hunger.

It’s the end of an era. Drou-Drou is officially gone.

Another one hits the dust. 3 more garbages to go.

 

[Michoulicious]

Always liked him, looks like genuinely good person, was great with the CHUM and his community work.

Full of talent but unfortunate injuries and mental illness prevented him of fulfilling his potential in Montreal.

Wish him the best with Nathan, could be a fun line to watch again!

[LyricalLyricist]

I said he would get an NHL contract or at least a try out.

I'm not implying he's a stud, far from it but when Galchenyuk is still getting contracts Drouin will be given a 2nd chance to produce elsewhere for sure.

Was having his best moments before that Ovechkin injury. Too bad. Good luck to him with the Avs.

 

[Paddyjack]

Good luck Jonathan. Not your fault that we sacrificied a stud D for the dream that you would play Centre position, we had an idiot GM that could not find them otherwise. I wish it would have worked out but it didn't.

Good Riddance. Thanks for pretty much nothing. Good luck, have fun.

 

[Scintillating10]

Drouin was about biggest waste of skill in history of Canadiens

 

[cphabs]

Ironic considering there's an active thread going with over 4K replies talking about PLD - a career ~60 point player so far. It sounds like other fans here don't agree

Iconic? The Sergachev trade was Iconic and will always be. It’s not even f***ing done yet! Sergachev just turned 25 and had a 64 point campaign! As a f***ing defenseman…

I said ironic, not iconic?

Some people in this thread man... no empathy at all.

 

[Bouboumaster]

Since your whipping boy is gone, on who are you going to shit on this time guys?

 

[Scriptor]

Pacioretty was real asshole, I see. Captain material?

 

[HabsCowboysOwn]

Hoffman, Armia and Gallagher are all worthy candidates, thanks for asking.

This. Next whipping boys candidates.
