GDT: The 2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Would it have killed you Drouin to make a cute play causing a turn over?

 

[agentblack]

Tied again! nice play by Drouin

 

[Foppa2118]

Drouin with another great pass for a huge goal.

 

[Avs_19]

By the time these playoffs are over, I might be okay with trading anyone not named MacKinnon for Drouin. Comes back after the huge hit and sets up the goal to tie it.

 

[The Shermanator]

Damn that kid is good.... His price has gone up so much.

 

[agentblack]

It'll at least cost the 4th overall and beyond to get him. I used to think a 8-11 pick was perfectly fair.
And it might be more added to that.
And thats only if Stevie Y feels like he needs to move him now
And thats only if Drouin still wants to leave.

If it's any consolation Drouin>Mack.

It won't come to that if Drouin insist on leaving the price will never be that high. If he doesn't insist on leaving, he won't get traded.

10th+Compher should more than get it done but again it depends on what Drouin wants.

Stars up 1-0 sweet.

Would you accept something like that for Mack? It's ridiculous to think they'd accept that for Drouin.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

I think it's pretty obvious (since it's been discussed numerous times) that Drouin requested a trade they will NOT get full value.

Before the playoffs I would have agreed with that but now, there is no way TB does that.
The only way TB trades him if a Saad/Hamilton situation happens in another year and they still need to sign Kucherov, Johnson, Hedman to monster extensions

 

[ABasin]

So, remember a few months ago when the question was posed as to whether TB and Drouin could possibly kiss and make up?

 

[agentblack]

Looks like it. He's playing. Big Boy minutes and responsibilities. Thats ultimately what he wanted.Whatever happened between him and Coop seems to have worked itself out.
He'd be a fool to leave a team like that and come... here? lol ok.

They haven't yet, they just put it on hold. We'll see what happens.

It's not like he's leaving the Hawks, Tampa have no pedigree.

huh?

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Different scenario entirely though.


If Drouin still wants out and insists that he's done in TB Tampa isn't going to get full value for him. Its as simple as that. They will move him this summer for the best offer, but it wouldn't be full value.



Whether #10 + Compher is enough I dont know, but it wouldn't be that far off I dont think. I would pay that and more for him though. Just drooling over the thought of a Top 6 that included Mack, Landy, Drouin, and Rantanen in a couple years. Possibly Duchene as well if we dont panic trade him this summer. Oh ya and that Radulov guy potentially as well.



I'd even go so far as to offer #10 and 2017 1st(Top 3 protected) for Drouin.

 

[agentblack]

I agree fully with TV here. No one here would take that for Mack.

And you can say its just as likely he sticks around now.
Anything else is just wishful thinking.

 

[S E P H]

1. Burns
2. Ekholm
3. Pietrangelo

Best defenders in these playoffs IMO.

Ruff is a good coach, but the amount he's shuffling these goalers is getting to Quenneville level.

For sure.


But the only way Tampa even trades him at all at this point is if he still wants out. And if he does still want out, Tampa wont get full value for him.


I mean, I dont think the Avs got full value for ROR last year, and he didn't even officially want out or anything. If teams know you're in a tough spot with a player like Tampa might be with Drouin, they wont give full value because they know eventually Tampa will have to accept the best offer they have.


Of course you could argue Tampa just does the same thing again this summer and chooses not to trade him despite his requests but I dont think they'd do that this summer as I'm not sure Drouin would be as willing to come back and play next year if that scenario unfolded.




Not a chance in hell Tampa moves Drouin, unless he wants out. Then it has to happen I think.

 

[agentblack]

Ugh Stars are getting stomped. The carousel of goalies in DAL continues
this year if they get bounced.

 

[agentblack]

For sure.

Even if he does still want out. If anything, Drouin showcasing his skills.. in the Stanley Cup Playoffs for crying out loud ..and not some meaningless AHL game just confirms what Stevie Y thinks and that the price for him is high and he owns that kid till what he's 26 or something.
If he doesnt get what he wants he has no reason to move him.
Unless a huge offer sheet comes in ...which is very possible .

 

[agentblack]

lol oh boy.

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

They aren't trading Drouin. He's got the role he always wanted now. Did you see him and Cooper high five immediately after the OT winner tonight?

 

[agentblack]

He's got a great forward core to work with and one of the best D men in the league.
And he gets to do it in sunny Florida.

 

[agentblack]

Blues making a statement tonight.
I think they are going to the finals.
Although id really like to see SJ get in. Them and PIT would be fun to watch. Very NHL 93 matchup.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

PW gets it.

Right now they're riding a high...once that's over we'll see if there still bad blood.
