    Default Jonathan Drouin

    He is not playing the way I expected.
    Is this because he is playing center?

    His position eligibility really helps, but I am little confused about his upside.
    What do you guys think about him?

    Should any of these FAs be a better option than him?

    I've said that his utilization at Center has been the worst thing all season. Guy is not a Center period. He would be a very good winger however if they could find a center in MTL... Problem is that they don't like anyone on that roster to center the top line. I personally think they gave up on Galchenyuk way to early here. But who knows, with Julien and Bergevin I'd expect a mess for a while.

    Yeah, I was thinking Patch, Galchenyuk, Drouin would be a first line beginning of the season.
    Never expected him to play center and it is not working for him I guess.

    That is the first line right now.

    The team is just playing horrible horrible hockey.

    Of your list I'd consider Boeser, but personally I'd hold on to Drouin.

    The following will help Drouin:

    1) Fire MB. Replacement to acknowledge Drouin is a winger and the Habs are about 3yrs from competing.
    2) Trade Pacioretti straight up for Pierre Luc Dubois.
    3) Trade Galchenyuk for a goalie, maybe Dell and a pick.
    4) Trade Price for a 4th rounder and some salary (no one is going to touch that contract)

    I'd also trade Weber to anyone who would take him on for the best offer. Guy is at the end of his prime but still a stud for a team actually trying to contend now. I also have always felt Weber's game would age fine... a lot of his league value is tied to lockdown D ability and that shot isn't going anywhere. Always hard to move that much salary though.

    I was going to add Weber, but he still has 9 years on his current deal. He's untradeable. What a mess. To lay out 25% of your cap to one old ass D and a oft injured, former "worlds best goalie" is nucking futs.

    I would love to have MB in my fantasy league... It'll be a sad day for the other GM's when their 'mark' MB gets fired.

    call me crazy, but I prefer Boeser OVER Drouin in Mtl period. I'd try to flip Drouin for a pick then add Boeser

    I like Boeser and Granlund more than Drouin. I also feel like tkatchuk should not be a free agent in this league.

    I'd consider trying to package Drouin with one of your d men (not sure you need 6 but you would know better than me) for an upgrade and add one of the FA's.

    Only way Weber moves is if Mtl decides they need to blow things up. Weber to Edm for Lucic & prospects/picks - 1st, Caleb Jones/Ethan Bear etc.

    1. I 100% agree with the firing of MB

    2. Max Pacioretty to CBJ doesn't make sense as their top LW are Panarin, Milano and Jenner. They also have Foligno playing centre, so they won't have him playing C2 minutes that's for sure. What would have made sense was NYI trying to get MaxPac to play with Tavares for Barzal at the beginning of the season. But that wouldn't happen now the way Barzal is playing

    3. No one in Montreal would care about that trade, As a GM trying to save his job, this wouldn't be a hard deal to pull off. BUT, if you're building for the future, having Dell means nothing. Getting like Ho-Sang type of guy (can't seem to crack the lineup) would be my aim. Doesn't mean him necessarily tho

    4. No one will take that contract yes, but no GM would do that trade because sometimes keeping a bad contract is going to save your job more than gifting it to someone. That would honestly RUN the new GM out of town almost instantly. I do agree tho, the contract does more harm than good when regarding the future. It would be very hard for a GM coming in doing a trade like that to say with a straight face they aren't tanking.

    Drouin is a winger period. He happens to be playing on a team that's a total mess. I think he'll top 55, far behind his ceiling of 70.
