Speculation: Drouin for some offensive depth?

Turcotte? Would love to get him reunited with Cole

haha good one! thanks for the laughs.

Jost isn't a bad contract. It's pretty much the going rate for a player like him.


Thanks for the reply. To me a 2nd would be steep for him unless there's significant retention.

I'd easily keep him if all we could get is a 2nd rd pick let alone retaining on him.

AA AND STRAND FOR HIM

 

[TomKosto]

He's yours for a 3rd pick!

How is his mental health?

I’m sure random posters on HFBoards would know

The habs could definitely retain 50%

I know Drouin's reputation.

But frankly, I've been seeing him play for 5 seasons now and he's not as bad as some others teams fans say he is.

He can't be a leader you rely on, can't be the guy to take too much pressure neither, a thing he had in MTL being a francophone acquired for a young blue chip defenseman who developed well in TB.

But if he'd be relied on to be a good complementary offensive guy, playing alongside dominant offensives players, he could be an astute acquisition for relatively cheap.

He always been a playoff guy, producing 21 pts in the last 27 playoff games he played in.

I think he could be a good addition for a team actually in the playoff but lacking offensive power

I'm realistic, he won't fetch something big, I expect Habs to ask for good (not great) prospects.

An example from LA Kings:

Jordan Spence + Martin Chromiak

for

J.Drouin

Lol hell no

Kid started is nhl on the wrong foot, got traded to mtl and never lived up to the hype he had in junior. He needs to figure himself out and i hope its not for the habs.

Lol you rule man. Aren't you the guy who said Brady wouldnt sign longterm and that Batherson was overpaid, too?

Add Caufield to Drouin and you're still quite short on value.

Brett Connolly + TB 2023 2nd + CHI 6th 2022
for
Jo Drouin + TB 4th 2022

Who says no?

 

[Mandalorian]

Just out of curiosity what would Montreal be looking to get for Drouin at 50% retained in the offseason?

Probably a turd. I mean a third (no joke) would get Gorton thinking.

A second and he is all yours.

 

[Whalers Fan]

Turcotte? Would love to get him reunited with Cole

Maybe Alfie Turcotte.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Prob better than Batherson physical health

Don’t stigmatize discussions about mental health

On what planet does Drouin get you Turcotte?

Hawks are probably heading towards a rebuild here, So why would they want Drouin?

He's young-ish and could be part of it. But realistically, you are probably right.

Hard to tell what his value is.

Players of his type (lots of offense, but not much of anything else) tend to not be valued a lot in the league. Hall and Buchnevich were traded for a 2nd+. So I would assume his value would be a 2nd round pick. He does have a track record of producing in the playoffs, which should interest playoff teams.

Buchnevich has been an excellent two way player for the Blues.

Drouin and Savard for Skinner one of florida / vgk 1st

Brett Connolly + TB 2023 2nd + CHI 6th 2022

Jo Drouin + TB 4th 2022

Who says no?

Probably both teams. Hawks are in no mans land and the Habs are better off sticking with drouin.
