- Philly should say no to the first deal.
- Montreal should say no to the second.
- Kids should say no to drugs.

I think Zucker would fit better than Drouin in Mtl. Drouin is the younger player and higher offensive ceiling, which the Wild are looking for, but Zucker the better all around player

Zucker is an amazing 2 way winger as well. Drouin can’t play defense to save his life

disagree

Drouin thrives on special teams which each and every year is becoming a bigger part in deciding games in the NHL compared to 20 years ago .

Drouin's consistent averaging 50pts a season the last 3 years .
the issue is fans are high on crack and expect 150+ points because he's french . . . .

Traditionally MTL wins cups by comittee with depth
Drouin may not be our Lafleur but it doesnt mean he's not our Shutt or Lemaire.

if we're going to win a cup it will be with what Domi can do at even strength combined with what Drouin can on special teams .
i think Poehling and Drouin together are going to become an odd ball force like Domi and Shaw was last year .

Petry just keeps getting better. Wouldn’t be willing to give up much more than him and a 2nd for Ghost...
Your undervaluing of Zucker tells me you are one of these kids you are talking about, the ones thinking they know hockey just by looking at offensive stats

Hope you are right, because he didn’t help much last year on the PP

Potential for more sure, more offensively talented sure, but widely inconsistent and cant play Defence one lick. Drouin is in that good but not great category. IF he could be a more consistent scorer in the league you can over look the lack of 2 way ability. When you have a winger who is streaky with extreme highs and lows in his point production, that probably will begin to wear very thin on a Head Coach when you cant count on them for anything else but offence

It has nothing to do with stats me bruv.

Both of my evaluations have to do with age. More specifically ....

Drouin + Ghost:

- Have more potential to improve (given their age + the fact that their weaknesses could be solved mentally or through maturity)
- Have more years of prime performance left (even if they don't improve)
- Philly doesn't look like cup contender today (so why trade 7 years of a prime DEF for 2)
- Montreal doesn't look like cup contender today (so why trade 6 years of a prime FWD for 3)

Zucker + Petry:

- Both are smart players and good all around players (which is a good thing)
- But that also means that they can't get much better (you can't expect much physical improvement at their age)
- Both are nearing the expected age of decline (28-31 for forwards and 30-34 for defense)


If either Philly or Montreal looked like serious cup contenders next year .... than these trades would make sense.
But they don't ... so why sell your assets at a low point for short term success?
The teams receiving the older players need a bit more compensation to account for lost potential and a shortened period of utility.
