There is no way Point or Nemestikov were ahead of Drouin, just like there was no way he would ever get a Sergachev for those two.
BS .......... Yzerman knew eexactly what he was working with GW. Point got 40 points last year and the Rooshie was improving . These werent some Jake DerBrusk lets hope and see what we have by trying him out they were groomed to contribute now.
He had Johnson , Kuch , Stammer , Kilhorn ,Palat .......Drouin was totally expendable .
Not to mention Raddysh , Katch and Howden from the junior team being groomed .
Defend him all you want this deal is atrocious and JD has been abysmal and a huge bust so far .
I dont buy this C issue for a second . He is positionally better than 27 but hasnt been able to generate shit offensively .
He has free space on a PP , there is no excuse how he has 5 goals . Shit he has fewer goals and same points as Larshole for Gods sake .
If he wasnt French he would of been run out town by now . His play better come around or this will go down as one of the heists of the decade for TB.
He isnt some 20 year old trying to find his way , he is nearly 23 and has been nothing more than an extension of the offensive stench on this team .
There is no excuse how he is outplayed and produced by 11 and Dano .
