One of the top jobs for a new GM: get Price to agree to modify his NMC.
Price has to be protected he has a NMC.
Before that, his greatest task would be convincing tick skull Molson a rebuild is necessary.One of the top jobs for a new GM: get Price to agree to modify his NMC.
So here you are using the absolute worst from Domi and the absolute best for Drouin?Drouin has most probably mental health issue so you might want to compare both when they were healthy, like last year playoffs... You would still take Domi ?
I'm all for trading Drouin, but not for Domi or other overrated and overpaid players. Anyways, this team should try to rebuild instead of patching holes.
Drouin probably played his last game with this team.
Wonder how Bergevin will deal with the situation, I was looking around the league to find an other struggling player or someone of the same level and I feel there is so many ways this could go. I don’t like him, but I’m positive he still has value around the league GMs know how Montreal is and how much pressure it can put a local player. I could see manu being interested in a 50-60pts playmaking winger like Drouin especially at his age where he is more mature than he was before.
I’ll probably cut my eyes if it has anything to do with Seattle, Drouin free is an automatic pick up from Seattle just a no brainer. This is exactly the type of underachieving player that would blow up like what we saw with Vegas. Unless he is traded there for something of value or a mix of you get Drouin + we will leave this “x” player unprotected for a 1st round or for a player that Seattle could possibly pick up elsewhere that’s good but less interesting than a Drouin + X combo. I wouldn’t even be surprised to see them pick up Byron, he could be the type of guy to have a good season with more playing type (which would be a godsend) but with Chiarot/Edmundson and Allen available maybe they will go elsewhere.
Marc will have a lot of work this summer. He completely need to rebuild that entire left side, Drouin is gone, Tatar is free agent (I wouldn’t mind him back, he plays hard, he has talent, can score and compete defensively), Byron has to go or find his game again and Lekhonen should be here as he is a sure value to have on the team. If Drouin is gone (probably for an Lw or a defensemen which would be funny), You need an Lw to put in front of Tatar or who ever they decide to brin in.
Domi sucks. He’s worse than Drouin. He’s f***ing terrible. Why would we compare the one season where he completely over achieved. This isn’t Domi. Domi is the 40-50 player with the -20 +/- that you see today. I’d take Drouin every time.So here you are using the absolute worst from Domi and the absolute best for Drouin?
How about comparing them in 2019?
Re-build the left side ? Yes and no. Toffoli, Lehkonen, even Caufield could play on that side as well as Poehling. I dunno what they gonna do with Byron. and a Drouin's trade might bring back another lw.

I don’t know who wouldn’t make that trade except, Buffalo.Starting package for Jack Eichel
Jesperi Kotkaniemi
Alexander Romanov
Jonathan Drouin
1st round pick

Looks realistic trade proposal actually, which is rare on the forum. Franchise center costs. KK has unfixable skating technique problem that limits him. Romanov is good prospect but nothing special. Late 1st round pick, again, nothing special. Then there's Drou Drou. Most likely that wouldn't be enough for Buffalo.I don’t know who wouldn’t make that trade except, Buffalo.
That’s what I said. Never said it was a terrible trade. Just one that Buffalo can likely do better with another team like LA or NY.Looks realistic trade proposal actually, which is rare on the forum.

Trade Drouin+ for him
Maybe not as Laine is UFA after 1-more season (and significantly more expensive cap hit) whereas Drouin is under a more manageable contractYa both guys will need a change of scenery, we will add the +
Another guy I would love is Werenski who recently fired his agent.Ya both guys will need a change of scenery, we will add the +
