When he was in junior, Yzerman stated he believed Drouin should be a C, so he spent his last year of junior playing C. We experimented with it briefly in the A, but then abandoned it. He's played either wing since.
There will be nights where he's the single reason you watch. Under the MTL spotlight, he's going to be recognized as one of the most, if not the most, exciting players in the league. I can't even remember all the times he did something where my reaction was, "I have never seen that done in the NHL before."
I can't believe we traded him inside the division. I can only imagine what kind of chip he's going to have on his shoulder in MTL-TB games. It's gonna get... ... ...Ugly.
Excited to see where Drouin ends up playing for us, and very interesting trade between division rivals.
Serg definitely has monster upside. Few hockey players his size can skate, dangle, and shoot the puck like he can- let alone defencemen. If his development goes perfectly he could be another PK Subban.
Will be fun to see them go toe to toe!
