Confirmed Signing with Link: [COL] F Jonathan Drouin re-signs with the Avalanche (1 year, $2.5M)

[Shane Diesel]

Oh, spicy!

Awesome deal. If he repeats his last year, I want him signed long term to Colorado. What a player, amazing vision and passing, great speed, top notch two way game.

I hope he has another career season just so I can read a bunch of salty Habs fans whine and complain.

Yeah it's tasty. I understand they're very disappointed but Drouin was put in a horrible situation there.

 

[EquivalentStay]

LOL the good ol "you're not an idiot you do idiotic things" cop out.

I don't give a damn what you see me as, you're some narcissistic moron trying to take ownership of threads because they have the name of a player that works for a team you cheer for.

If you don't like whatever i type just press ignore and don't force your insipid and pathetic existence upon me, you degenerate.

Bro go touch some grass, holy smokes

All I said was that we're tired of hearing you guys talk about hating him. This dude has completely flipped out on me, are you really saying you don't see what's going on here?

You straight up gaslighted the dude saying he was a degenerate because he didn't like a player

 

[McJedi]

This was easily one of the most team friendly contracts signed this summer. Drouin was outstanding this past season. Gave the Avs a strong top six caliber season. Good defensively. Good along the boards, great in puck possession and exquisite passing skills.

He’s a hell of a player and extremely fun to watch.

Nah I think you need to read what I wrote a little more carefully.

This one is happy for him, as are most.

There are a lot of reasonable, quality habs fans for sure

I'm not one of those. I'm glad Drouin had success in Colorado. The guy was dealing with depression and other mental issues in the past few years. I think he deserves to be happier and playing with Nathan seems to have helped him.

I'm sure he will do well again with that Avs core. Not a perfect forward but he's not as bad as some Habs fans think. And you can include fans from others teams as well.

Name me the best centers Drouin has played with on both Tampa and Montreal? Said this over and over again with several Habs fans.

Habs traded for him and tried him at center. When that didn't work, we bounced him all over the line-up and fans/media got aggressive towards him. It's what Montreal does. Hero or Zero narratives.

A soft but skilled forward like Drouin belongs with a legit center. Said this for years!

 

[Avs2022]

skilled player
It won't work
but good try

Did you sleep through last year?

 

[Foppberg]

I understand, but is there any way you can stop telling us about it? A lot of us are sick of habs fans insistent on repeatedly sharing their degenerate opinion of this specific player

It doesn't even really make sense. A player didn't work out.. welcome to the gamble of trading.

 

[Warh1ppy]

Career high in points last year and not a defensive liability for $2.5 million?

Ya. Absolutely worth every penny on a 1 year deal

 

[TheNumber4]

I’m surprised he’s fitting in so well with the Avs. He’s not even a great diver… yet. But Bednar will coach him up.

I haven't watched the avalanche since sakic was passing to forsberg

Agreed gonna be hard for him to reach that Divesaitl level

Jokes aside glad he signed. I expected him to sign him below what was expected somehow was expecting 3M$-3,5M$. Great to have him one year so management can figure out the Landy/Nuke situations.
