[Agalloch]

Hi,

My question is simple. What's the value for Drouin at 50% retention? Mid-round pick ? A bad contract ? Nothing ?

Can the Habs even retain that much with the rules?

Another struggling player, a swap.

Pickwise a 5th, like Filatlv once netted- and failed.

To a contender with that cap hit, you might get the Krav return

 

[GeeoffBrown]

I guess kinda similar to the return for Dadonov? Maybe get a shot a different player and hope a change of scenery helps

 

[WetcoastOrca]

A winger who scores at a .5 PPG pace isn't going to fetch much. He's a former high draft pick but he's going to be 28 in a month so there's no real upside. Maybe a 5th or 6th rounder with that retention?

Kravstov is 23 and Drouin will soon be 28. I don't think the two are really comparable.

50% is max they can retain.

even at that he doesn’t move the needlemuch.

probably a 5 th in return. A team ldoesn’t need the retention might ogpffer a 7th

They have already retained 2.5M on the Dadonov deal. Can you continue to retain on players without a limit?

A fried Baloney Sandwich at Wilensky's and a couple of steamies at Lafleurs.

3 retention spots per team
So habs have 2 left

Still have 2 more retention spots.

About what brought back Dadonov I guess.

google, cap friendly, every other trade thread....you can find your answers everywhere.
3 retentions at any given time is the max

 

[Junohockeyfan]

I wouldn't trade for Drouin (at 50%) or Dadnonov at 50%. Neither are worth half their salary.

Drouin produces at 0.5pt/game but its not worth it due to the downside to his game or the reliability of his head.

If Habs get anything for Drouin at 50% they should do it. But i suspect they would get a better deal by acting as a 3rd party cap eater.

3 total retentions for one season.

and yet you offered a similar return a few posts up.
I merely compared the return not the players

yeah and at that price, there's no point. Habs already have 11 picks.
I think someone mentioned Puljujarvi for Drouin @ 50% retained on our board,
but that doesn't work for Oilers because you're trying to get rid of Jesse's contract outright.

Maybe Drouin scores a 3rd rd from some desperate team if habs retain and sweeten. maybe.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Halak, Ryder and a 2nd

 

[BatVader]

Best option is to waive him and hope someone will take him off your hands… If not, let him finish the year in Laval

 

[Canadienna]

Habs have like a dozen guys on IR and Drouin is producing since his return (6pts in 8GP).

It means if you're going to move Drouin for like a 5th or later it's really just a tank move, which tbh I don't see Hughes or Gorton making.

 

[DFC]

Honestly, I'd bring him back to TB and see if our development staff can get his legs back under him. He was pretty similar in speed to Brayden Point when he was here, and I think if he could get that back he could be an effective player again. Kind of crazy how this guy's career has turned out. If the attitude issues have really cleared up, I would like to see him back in Bolts blue.

How Drouin at 50% for Jordan Greenway ?

 

[dredeye]

The bruins had to pay to move smith and he’s better than Drouin. He’s a negative asset at best
