Re: Drouin unhappy in Tampa Bay?
One thing that hasn't been mentioned, Teravainen played against men for a couple years over in Europe before coming over.. Drouin wasn't as lucky.. Drouin was still junior age this year so either had to play in the NHL or CHL.. Drouin won't be Alex Daigle, that's a brutal comparison.. Drouin is definitely a buy low right now in fantasy leagues!!

Re: Drouin unhappy in Tampa Bay?
Drouin is going to be fine. People are making a bigger deal of this than it is. Drouin asking his coach for a chance to play is exactly what I want from him. Cooper also had the perfect response when he told JD that his time would come, and to be patient.

Good chance Jonathan Drouin plays tonight.
Here's your chance kid.
Re: Drouin unhappy in Tampa Bay?
Its one thing to throw him in there, but if he's bound for the 4th line, don't expect much from him.

Re: Drouin unhappy in Tampa Bay?
Although it looks like the Lightning will be going with substantially the same lineup in Game 2 as they iced in Game 1 of the Cup finals, Jonathan Drouin may get a chance to play.
Drouin is scheduled to take warmups prior to the start of the contest and a decision about his status will be made at that time. Jonathan Marchessault, Vladislav Namestnikov, and Mark Barberio will all continue being healthy scratches Saturday night.

Re: Drouin unhappy in Tampa Bay?
I don't know if he's unhappy, but I'm unhappy for him. He should be playing and getting valuable experience, not watching from up there.
Re: Drouin unhappy in Tampa Bay?
Drouin is playing tonight. I'm curios what he will show.
Re: Drouin unhappy in Tampa Bay?
Well, he showed why the coach has little faith in him. Watching him in the first period, Drouin looked fantastic offensively, BUT after three or four moves, Toews stripped him of the puck and nearly sent a Hawk in for a breakaway. Then later in the first stanza, Drouin couldn't get the puck out of the defensive zone and it led directly to a great scoring chance for Chicago. Definitely high risk, hopefully high reward. Man, you sure can see flashes of what he is going to bring offensively - he's going to be a stud, but he has defensive warts that need to be addressed before the coach can employ him without worry.

Re: Drouin unhappy in Tampa Bay?
people need to stop acting like it's guaranteed he will be a stud because of his prospect/draft pedigree. Who knows what will happen but to say "he will be fine" and just leave it at that is not looking at this the right way. There are a lot of holes to his game like a Nikita Filatov.
Re: Drouin unhappy in Tampa Bay?
Big Ev does have a point here, only time will tell guys!! I'm still holding out hope as I feel Drouin is much more talented then Filatov ever was.. But we can't jump all over Big Ev right now for his opinion..Originally Posted by Big Ev

Re: Drouin unhappy in Tampa Bay?
Ultimately Drouin is logjammed, so there's no real pressure to give him quality ice-time at the moment.
RETIRED
Re: Drouin unhappy in Tampa Bay?
Kinda like Lehner eh?
Re: Drouin unhappy in Tampa Bay?
I would love to see Drouin go end-to-end on a Tampa change and see him undress TT, and blow by Keith and snipe. Just a short side roof daddy snipe too.

Shouldn't be a problem going forward. It's painful to watch Callahan collect a $6 mil salary and steal oxygen in that city.

Re: Drouin unhappy in Tampa Bay?
Are you disappointed in his play?
He has been awesome in the finals. Four points, a 60.68 CF%, 65.45 SCF%, 19 hits, 12 shots, +25 in on-ice shot differential.
Not sure what else could be asked of a guy with an "A" who regularly plays third line minutes with limited power-play time on the second unit.
