That's a great deal for Drouin.

Great deal for Drouin, have to wonder if that means no Radulov re-signing though

Is it a great deal? Meh.

His production is probably hindered a bit by being in Montreal now but 6 years of $5.5m for a 22 year old first line winger is pretty good

he feasted on the PP that's for sure, we'll see how he does in MTL. He had some amazing shifts in TBAY

hes one of the higher skilled guys in the league. We will see if he can put it all together these next couple seasons in Montreal. I can see them hoping he becomes the face of the franchise, good ol French Canadian boy and all

Agreed. Will be interesting to see who they surround Drouin with.

True in general but didn't he get a lot better deployment this past season due to the injuries?

I suppose so, particularly on the PP. he showed his worth though popping 26 stpts.

thom54 wroteCOLONSix years, $33 million for Drouin in Montreal .. woah

Outstanding contract


He's going to shred in Montreal. Cooper fucking hated him. He's going to break out huge finally getting top line minutes

i don't know if there's any support for drouin in montreal for him to score more XD

cmon.. let the dominos' fall and lots of trades coming!

Him and patches could be nasty together Hong

I think the contract is fine, but agree with a few in here that I don't think his point total goes up much if at all. His 5 on 5 stats weren't great and TB has better personnel on the PP. To me it seems like TB has always wanted to move him after he was a problem for them and they finally got an offer they felt was worth it. Very skilled player, but not sure it was what MTL needed.

Montreal needs a center and gave up a top D prospect to get a winger. Not a knock on Drouin at all, but they'll still need a center even if they move Galchenyuk for a guy like Stepan

Maybe montreal goes all in on Duchene?

Could be. Sounds like they aren't quite done yet..
