He is unable to talk about positives because the focus is everything being a pessimistic approach... Hero or Zero evaluation. If we didn't make the Drouin/Sergachev trade, the same pessimistic approach would of been taken towards Sergachev this past year cause he would of not look good on our roster. Comments would of been... should of drafted Jost instead.
Drouin's biggest assets are skating and he has tons of skill. His passing and shooting are elite level. Problem will always be he is a soft type. Maybe he bulks up a bit from age 25-30 but I don't ever expect him to be winning puck battles. His value is on the PP
It wouldn’t matter how good Sergachev looked. He would’ve been a 19 year old defenceman we all expected to have growing pains given the position. And it would’ve been expected on a team like ours this past season. People wouldn’t be eating him alive. 22 year old skilled forwards don’t get the same leash as their prime and peak come at much younger ages.
