I gotta think that the Leafs pushed hard to get a good young 20-24 year old dman for Nylander and it never happened.
I don't see it Drouin being the part that gets us one.
Nylander had 7 goals all year, 3 against us. He is their Pageau.
Maybe for RNH? Edmonton is desperate for a change. Only a year older than Drouin and the Oil saves 500k. Sure we’d have to add something to the deal but if it means getting rid of him for RNH you do it. What’s more likely is the Oil wanting the Habs to take on a bad contract to do the deal.
Drouin and Alzner for RNH and Lucic. Do you do it?
chiapet is gone
oilers are not trading their second line centre for drouin
JD gives you 4 years of cost certainty
Nuge is up in 2 years and looking for a raise
Oils have to think of the cap implications
unlikely a new GM is trading nuge this summer - all the other options would have to be explored - including trading some players and retaining some cap
for all chiapet did wrong the oilers actually have some decent prospects i am guessing they could trade - or fill holes with
they actually need a winger for nuge so i would actually look at drouin for oiler prospects

Drouin was 18th amongst LWs in points, that is first line stuff as per Marc Dumont. Maybe we shit on Drouin too much
We do....because we see his cap hit, and we expect Kucherov type production....it's unfair, but this is MTL.
Also, he is not an Alpha.....Bergevin and media (directly or indirectly) pumped him up as the missing French superstar.

Alot of talk on Drouinon the TSN690 drive home with Melnyk.
Questions came up about his conditioning not allowing him to have the stamina to finish a season strong.
