Value of: Jonathan Drouin next contract

[Coffee]

Obviously an off-season concern for the Avalanche, but for salary geeks , how much do you think Drouin signs for on his next contract?

I guess a better question would be what would you give him ?

 

[Egresch]

3.5M max, his stats are inflated by playing in COL. Other than points, he does not bring a lot.

 

[dirtydanglez]

i think he'll take less to stay where he's at. $2m - $3m

 

[MoneyManny]

His play is like empty calories. League minimum.

 

[Leafshater67]

Likely takes another team friendly deal for 3m I’d say. At least, I would if I were him. He can win on a contender, out of the spotlight and they saved his career.

He may get 4-5m open market.

But his agent might not.

But his agent might not.

The irony of you literally replying to Drouin’s agent

Couldn't be further from the truth lmao

I was a huge doubter of Drouins and cant say I’ve seen enough since he came to Colorado to really form a new opinion on what he is longterm, but obviously he has found a way to be a pretty effective middle 6 forward for them.

I think it makes sense for everyone to keep the train rolling rather than chasing pay/contract ‘security’. I hope he keeps it up, it would be a great story and its hard not to cheer for him after all he’s been through.

I’d expect him to sign 2-4 years at about 1.5x his current deal

 

[LMFAO]

I think he signs a team friendly deal with Colorado

3x4M

 

[Flyer lurker]

1 year 3m max.
Any gm who gives Drouin a multi year deal will be give the Chuck Fletcher Golden raspberry gm award.
You never should pay players on better year on a contract year.

Feel like a lot of these replies are people remembering the Habs version of Drouin. He's been much better since he joined the Avs likely due to less spotlight/pressure?

Regardless, I can't see him making much less than $4M on the Avs and perhaps more on the open market.

 

[Stringer Bell]

If he's smart he does what he can to make it work with the Avs. He shouldn't want anything to do with the open market.

Drouin has 76 points (53 ES) in his last 86 GP.

Before you say anything, throw the "product of MacKinnon" narrative in the trash. They've only linked up for points - both assisted on the same goal or assisted on each other's goal - (8) times this season.

Drouin is a player who's had availability issues, which factors into the mix. He's happy in Colorado and already took less money to stay there once. My thinking is something similar to the Tarasenko/Zucker deals ($4.75x2), with maybe an extra 1-2 years added (he's ~3 years younger).

 

[StewieP19]

Normally with his Stats. He can goes 4M per year for 4 years but with njury background and he has not prove that he can produce without Stars with him. Makes him probably 2.5 M for 2 years max

 

[Jared Dunn]

Can't put a price on happiness/comfort and I think he's learned that as much as anybody. 3 or 4 years at 3.5ish

 

[Voight]

I dont think hes looking to cash in given hes playing on a contender and with one of his closest friends. Heck he got a decent chunk of change from Montreal already.

Plus he may prefer it in Denver where the media spotlight isn't big.

 

[benfranklin]

I could see him signing for another onsie, but has to stay healthy. Assuming he does, dude is easily a 5x$5-6M guy.
