Drouin and Huberdeau are different players, but dealing the former for the latter due to defensive issues doesn't make much sense.
... But if that type of players makes you win, coaches should be able to deal with it, as long as it has no real negative effect on the rest of the players.
Perfect lateral trade... Quebec player for a Quebec player. We can't lose this one.
I would prefer Duchene. Quick, good on faceoffs. All around offensive abilities.
With a guy like Seguin? Absolutely they should’ve been patient. He liked to party when he was younger. Carey Price was the same way until he grew out of it. It was a huge mistake on Boston’s part. The difference tho is Seguin was a center with elite potential whereas Drouin is a winger with nowhere near the upside production wise. My point was if Julien could get on board with moving a young player of Seguin’s talent, he should realistically have absolutely zero issue moving Drouin for a winger whose more rounded.
I can see a Drouin for Duchene deal as it saves face for sens.Rumors about Duchene if he's ready to sign an extansion
Rumors about Huberdeau
If there's any truth to these rumors, Montreal ain't dangling Lehkonen and a 1st for these guys. That's not Bergevin's type of trade, never has been and it's not enough.
I might put my tinfoil hat once again, but why do i get the feeling Bergevin is trying to trade away Drouin?
So i'm not the only one who's seeing this.
you got guys like Domi, Danault, Byron, Shaw, Weber, Lehkonen and Gallagher who are working their butt off almost every shift and throwing themselves in the face opposition and taking no ****. Even guys like Tatar and Armia is following their leads. I don't see it in Drouin, i see a guy that is flying when things are going his way and pouting when things are hard.
Perfect lateral trade... A Quebec player trending well for a Quebec player not trending well. We can't lose this one.
Too soft.

I can see a Drouin for Duchene deal as it saves face for sens.
But why would Florida trade Huberdeau? Because they want to clear some cap space so taking back another LW with similar cap hit makes no sense especially due to his inferior production.
Speed might get you to the playoffs. but it won't be enough to get you through themOur small forwards are all soft. Todays nhl, you dont need to be overly physical.You need speed.
dunno, but fla is looking for a goalieLindgren, fine. Primeau, I wouldn't like it. Who would be left in the goalie pipeline as a legit option down the road? McNiven?

If i can read between the lines, Huberdeau wants out of Florida.
It's publi knowledge that it's going well with the coaches and i remember his interviews where he said that he'S tired of not making the PO even if he's in the league for 7 years now.
As stupid as it may sounds.....they did it with Briere.
Duchesne for Drouin....Ottawa would have to add...Drouin is signed for a few more years and at a decent cap hit
I woould go all in on Huberdeau. My first pick/ lehkonen and a guy like josh brook. He is only 25 years old, nice cap hit, from quebec. We need punch in offensive and it could be a big upgrade
