Keller would be great.
Well, I am not one of those who de-valued Danault. And yes, there are folks who devalue some players and over-value others. Opinions vary, I've learned.
You do realize you would be slapping Caufield in the face right. You've convinced the the kid to take a team friendly deal keeping in line with our Captain and then you turn around and give a player who is not better more. A pretty good way to lose credibility internally.
And was a key guy on the 30 straight penalty kills that won us three series.
Dubois could go PPG+ the next 3 years in LA and I’d still be completely convinced he would’ve completely shit the bed at some point with the pressure he would’ve have poored on his back by our market. A lot of people get upset when Drouin’s name gets brought up in these threads. He’s not brought up for an on ice player comparison, he’s brought up because he was a mental midget who had red flags before we acquired him. The entitled inflated ego is a death sentence in Montreal. You would think Gretzky was hitting the market with the amount of attention this is getting. And Dubois and his agent have played a part in that with how they went about these negotiations.
Drouin was 22 when acquired. Had scored 53 points but was not a play driver. Had finished his ELC and was about to be left unprotected in the expansion draft. Tampa was desperate to get something for him, and Bozo obligingly gave him an expansion-draft-exempt guy with Norris potential.
Strange coming from @Habs Halifax I know. He is usally very self assured.
. Some things, I'm firm on. Some things I am not.He absolutely might one day, but I'm talking more about Norris votes. He is not yet at his prime.
Not a player of Dach’s level of talent per say but maybe a Newhook, Kakko, players like that.
It was a bad trade, but mostly because Bergy didn't dig into Drouin's character and capacity to deal with the pressure, especially when he had a few red flags in Tampa and refusing to report to AHL teams etc...
