Drouin scored 53 points (career high) at 23 years old. That would put him 4th on the Oilers points list. In fact, at 23 years old, RNH put up a paltry 43pts in 82 games, having regressed. The fact is, we know Drouin can produce offense and he does it without the benefit of a generational talent feeding him points. Drouin focussed on 2-way play at the tail end of the season. The + factor is there. And the irony is, Chaos - you were the on in your own Edm forum wondering if the Oilers could get him for cheap. Why would you want him if you can't stand guys that won't work hard??? Two-faced?
As for Caleb Jones, its outrageous how much you overrate him. He's an average prospect who has barely cracked the NHL on a team that ranks up there fore the worst defense in the league. Caleb Jone's junior career wasn't all that great. Mete is a superior two-way player with incredible speed and puckmoving ability. There is a reason why he was relied upon by the Habs on the top-pairing. He's obviously not a top-pairing dman but he was the most reliable / dependable LHD this season and he produced. Caleb Jones doesn't hold a candle to Mete in the defensive end. Not even in the stratosphere.
No thank you on Caleb Jones. No interest in him whatsoever. What the Habs need is an established top-4 LHD. Someone like a Darnell Nurse or Klefbom type. That's the only dman on the Oilers i would consider.
