    Default Drouin or Vrana?

    Thinking of a Drouin - Vrana swap, should I?

    Vrana should stay 2nd line with little chance of getting top PP unless injury....
    Drouin is a bit more of a wild card, should be top 6 but dabbled in bottom 6 last season, should also be top PP...which has about the same conversion rate as WAS PP#2 lol...

    Close, I'd probably go Drouin here and hope for better deployment/ MTL figuring out how to get some PP points....

    One of them is 24 with two 53 point seasons, the other is 23 with one 47 point season.

    I would rather Drouin.

    For context, MTL ran 3 "scoring" lines, so even if Drouin moved up and down the lineup he's still a "top 6" forward for all intents and purposes.

    He had a great first 3/4 of the season but then dipped in the last 1/4

    Also, the Canadiens PP was horrible and he still managed to produce some PP points.

    It's close, but I think Drouin's ceiling is higher and Vrana floor is lower.
    I'll take Drouin.

    I'd prefer Drouin here (can't believe I actually typed that).

    I've never been a huge fan of his, even when there were people out there thinking he had PPG+ upside. That said, in this case, he has more value than Vrana who imo has nothing more than 50-55 pt upside in his best season. Drouin, on the other hand, is a safer bet to reach the 50-55 pt total given his deployment, and he might even eclipse 60 pts. My issue with Drouin is that although I don't think he will ever live up to the hype he had when first entering the league, he still has modest value and more value than someone like Vrana.

    Drouin here.

    I own Vrana and would easily trade him for Drouin. Vrana is stuck behind that first line and on the 2nd PP unit.

    Vrana if you want less upside but get a bit more multi-cat on Hits..

    drouin if you want a small gamble for more PTS..however Drouin provides no multi-cat so if he doesnt produce he is rather useless
