I doubt CJ will put Drouin on RW again, unless we have a bunch of injuries. He just looked too awkward there and he didn’t get any results. Most likely he switches with Kovalchuk, which might help in that we can try out the Drouin - Kotkaniemi - Armia line that worked out fairly well at the start of last season.
I personally believe the habs would rather have Evans play the majority of the games as the 4C, so I don’t think they’ll bring Thompson back. And I don’t love the Domi contract for the habs. The AAV is fine, but you’re just allowing him to become a UFA at age 28, at the same time that we need to sign Ylönen, Romanov, (and maybe Caufield). I’d rather either do a 1 year deal, or go 5-6 years.
Everything else looks good.
