Guy has two goals this season and people are praising him? Most of his assists are secondary too.
but he's a little guy from our area

Actually they do, and often, Hey look lars has 6 assists and 3 goals. How does that compare to Danault? Tanev and Hagelin both had unassisted goals in the same gameWhat's up with this obsession to just focus on goals?
Goals don't happen without assists...

Hes almost at 70 percent. A lot better than doggin it 50% of the time. My dad would have called him a floater.He's making a more concerted effort.
His two-way play is lot better.
I'd rather have a 50 points Drouin who is active and responsible in his two-way play, than a 70 points Drouin who can't play defense.
That Drouin doesn't exist anyway.
Let's hope Caufield slots into Drouin's spot on the 1st/2nd line and the PP when his NCAA season is over, and then Drouin is featured on line 3 where he has a chance against the other team's bottom D pair. I want to see Caufield/Suzuki/Anderson to see how that works.
Drouin played better last nightDrouin reborn with his old coach!
It would be huge if Ducharme could get Drouin to play to his potential.

You are too hard on him. He never had hockey smarts. But he was more aggressive.
He’s stepped his game up so far this year. He’s been a consistently effective offence creator in our top 6. Highest paid? He’s getting 5.5m and has been earning it. He’s been a positive for us this season no matter how you slice it.some aren't hard enough on him, he's our highest paid forward with lots of skill that is just so frustrating to watch. He's looked better this year, great but he could be so good with the tools he has.

I get that the past couple of weeks have been frustrating but he’s not one of the guys who should be critiqued. He’s done his part. It’s other guys who need to step their games up.

How sad it is when your highest paid forward of the team earn 5.5 millions. Thats barely 2nd line players money.
MB need to do everything in his power to pry Eichel out of buffalo. At this point , I would trade the whole team for him. Would rather watch Eichel skates alone on the ice than watch this sad affair. What a boring team we have
imo Drouin is just very similar to Domi - similar offensive productions, defensively both aren't great, Domi takes more penalty but at least can be a spark plug and usually plays with more intensity. Drouin doesn't take penalties because he doesn't do much except when he has the puck really.
Another difference is that Drouin plays wings.
but yeah he is required/wanted on teams with low offensive talent (like Montreal), but unfortunately he doesn't bring a whole lot to the table
Personally, I would't trade Drouin vs Domi 1 vs 1. I know a lot won't agree but I like what I see from Drouin this year as much on the ice than off the ice.
It's time to accept that he won't be that Patrick Kane type player despite having the hands and skill for it. He's putting up similar point totals as usual, but he's been a lot more engaged and is not a liability out there yet. I just wish he would shoot more instead of always looking for a pass, but he's been one of our most consistent forwards all year. For a guy that's known to be very inconsistent and soft, he's been the opposite so far which is great. However, I still wouldn't hesitate to trade him for a top 4 dman if there was the chance to do so.some aren't hard enough on him, he's our highest paid forward with lots of skill that is just so frustrating to watch.

Ya that's such nonsense, you just have a grudge against the player. Anderson made a horrible play in OT that nearly costed us the game if it wasn't for Allen not too long ago, is he a liability because of that too? He's nowhere near as soft as last year, looks far more engaged and is battling.He is a liability still as his drop pass in the final seconds of the period in a tight game shows. He looks better but still shows too many dumb things. I don't agree that he's been one of our most consistent forwards either, and he's certainly soft still.
in 11 games he has 0 pts, in 9 games he has 13 pts.
