Drouin goes out with a whimper. I kept an open mind to the end, but finally I am clear that I do not want him back even at a minimum contract.
I've rarely not want to see a guy back this much. He's so useless, lazy, scared of the traffic...
I hope management will learn from historical mistakes. Sergachev, McDonagh...

I'm glad it's over.
I've hated players on this team a lot more (Joel Armia, looking at you), but I'm tired of hearing about Drouin and his potential.
Good luck to him, hopefully far away from Montreal. I think he could potentially have a good career in Europe although an NHL team will likely take a gamble on him.

He’ll be lucky if he gets a PTO from anybody. Making him have to earn something may be the only way any team can get even a little value out of him at this point. He basically sleep walked threw the entirety of his 6 year contract.
Drouin is exactly like that whoopee cushion. It seems like the real deal yet it's odorless and gets annoying real fast. Jokes aside good for him to get out of here.
Funny he does that to the "smart" kid of the class too.
I think he’ll easily get PTO if he wants one. Getting a contract is still likely but PTO? That’s just an invite to camp. That’s easy.

Who’s wasting a contract spot on him even at league minimum? Not good enough to be in anyone’s top 6 and to much of a liability defensively to be a depth player. If he wants to keep playing, then I can see a team giving a PTO to try and earn a place. Maybe that lights a fire. Otherwise he could be done. He’s probably banked close to $20 million after tax already floating around a hockey rink so I don’t see a guy like Drouin being super motivated to try and turn things around. I think we would’ve seen that this year if it was going to happen.

yes his secondary assists are so well done.
He's having PP time and most top 6 time and still make more turnovers than the whole team.
Enough is enough.

So odds he signs again are like 50-50? I have a hard time reading into if he would be missed by fans…

Go Habs!
The odds are much, much lower than that. With all the remaining vets, plus the young players, there is currently no room on the roster for Drouin next season.

I doubt it, Bergevin tried to trade him and so did Hughes and there were no takers. Swiss league is the perfect place for him for a few years or he may just retire.
Drouin would have to be an elite masochist to want to re-sign here.
Agreed. We should not trade Guhle or Mailloux at this time. Harris or Struble are a different kettle of fish. Don't have the upside of a Sergachev or McDonagh.
Yea i am not going to miss his wrist shot that kept going into the net.....The net to protect the fans.
