Drouin comes back with his buddy

Created by: seb
Team: 2019-20 Montreal Canadiens
Initial Creation Date: Mar. 6, 2020

Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
The Montreal Canadiens should make big trades come the offseason. One trade that comes back to haunt them particulairly is the Drouin for Sergachev trade. Three seasons that fell short of expectations for him. However, the Avalanche could stay pat. But, they have proven to think outside the box and make trades to revive careers of forwards that fell short of expectations in other markets. Burakovsky and Nichushkin are examples of forwards that excel in Colorado. However, in order to win the big prize, their offence could be even more deadly. Here comes Jonathan Drouin. He would benefit from a change of scenery, and his buddy Nathan Mackinnon would help him. One of the best duos in junior history could revive in the NHL. However, the Canadiens need a stable, mobile presence in the back end who can put the points on the board. Here comes Samuel Girard. Colorado would be very upset to trade him, but, in order to make the deal more managable, Victor Mete would come to Colorado too. He has many of the same qualities that Girard has (except the point producing). Plus, Colorado has a ton of good defensive prospects (Byram and Timmins come to mind). In Montreal's side, Valeri Nichuchkin would come back (they need big forwards). He would a good Russian buddy for Romanov too (in case Kovalchuk doesn't come back to Montreal.)

laugh Yeah because Sakic is going to trade a guy that he just resigned long term, For a guy who's best season is 53 points. Drouin is so over-rated on here it's not funny.

The whole package. Drouin is one of the more overrated players in the league imo, this is a guy with a career high pt total of 53. Girard is a 21yo top 4 defenseman on a great contract for the next 7 years. Then on top of that you throw in Nichushkin. Honestly it’s a laughable proposal because I wouldn’t trade Nichushkin for Mete straight up and sure wouldn’t Girard for Drouin.

Just a cool idea nobodies tried
but what if Drouin-Mckinnon-Ehlers

All 3 former Moosehead but they never played together at the same time as Ehlers didnt arrive until Mckinnon was in the NHL
Drouin/Ehlers were by far more dominant together then Drouin/Mckinnon were .

Drouin(L)-Mckinnon(R)-Ehlers(L) giving them the ability to cycle Mckinnon 1 timers from both sides of the ice on their forehand.

Drouins averaged 50pts as top PP guy on a team without top 6 centers to the point when acquired to replace Radulov he was jammed into Center because
Galchneyuk made the coach mad showing up hungover and rumored to be drunk in the plays vs NYR in our 1st round elimination .

Ehlers has faced struggles with consistency year to year but still made 3/5 fifty+ point seasons and has potential to grow still as he's just 24


i mean even if they just play PP together i think they could be dominant to the point they all reach 90-100+ point seasons given their similar speed and size along with age they could be dominant for another 5 years if not more . Both could be acquired for a reasonable cost using Prospects and picks in a 3-4 piece deal for each player . (example: jost,grier ,and two 2nds (conditional 1st if they win cup in either year the picks taken )

that was a diff situation lmao. tbh domi for girard seems interesting. but the thing with girard is that he;s signed for like 8 years ant a very very good cap hit. so doesnt make sense for the avs to trade him

To be fair it depends on what Domi's next contract is. If it is also a bargain/steal, it could make some legitimate sense. However I don't think Drouin for this works.

It's a neat concept to think about. COL seems to have the assets to create a deadly team, but they have been very conservative. I don't think Girard should be on the market. Zadorov is, but we all know he comes with a significantly lesser cost.

If they traded to get that line that you mentioned, as well as a Landeskog - Kadri - Rantanen, and Bura - 3C - Donskoi line, this team would be immediately a top contender.
