Who has more trade value, disregarding contracts?

I'd say Drouin, based mostly on having a higher ceiling, and evidently more talent (which tend to come hand in hand anyway).

This is because both are sort of unproven. They've both shown glimpses of being solid top 6 forwards (even first liners) but haven't maintained it (partly due to injuries, and other circumstantial stuff like coaching).

Drouin will win this based on pedigree, Fabbri hasn't had enough time to prove himself after his injury last year

 

[GlitchMarner]

Drouin has more offensive upside and was a much higher pick.

I won't necessarily disagree about the upside favoring Drouin, but draft position should have no bearing on it one way or another.

I like Fabbri but this isn't even close. Drouin easily.

 

[Section88]

Fabbris really good but easily drouin

I won't necessarily disagree about the upside favoring Drouin, but draft position should have no bearing on it one way or another.

If we're talking about the trade value for players who are still young and largely unproven, I think draft pedigree still has a significant impact.

 

[PG Canuck]

Easily Drouin.

Yeah, you're probably right. I forgot the OP asked about trade value and I think with two guys that have shown flashes of playing at a high level but haven't put it all together, draft position would factor into it. I think it's closer than some are making it out to be but Drouin certainly has the higher ceiling.

 

[Fugazy]

Drouin.

 

[tony d]

Drouin.

 

[KevSkillz4]

Fabbri is a top 6 player.

Drouin is a first line talent. Elite C or W potential.

 

[Falco Lombardi]

It's Drouin now.

I bet it's closer than people think a year from now though. Disclaimer: Blues fan who is uber high on Fabbri.

I wouldn't of traded Fabbri for Drouin 2 seasons ago and I still wouldn't. With that said He's been too injured to hold the value Drouin did.

It will be an interesting season moving forward. Both are playing center this season, and will be heavily relied upon.
