Quoting: Boltsbeathabs
In fairness I am less than a fan of Drouin. Still waiting for that first awesome hustle back check from him.
That's not his job really as MTL has 11 other forwards capable of that
He's basically the only Forward we got who gives us consistent PP Points
5v5 he's kinda of a floater who distributes the puck and leads odd man breakaways
We have All Kinds of Quality Checkers
We have really only Drouin as a quality Playmaker
Most of our guys lean into Goal Scoring but also create's assists off Rebounds usually
Drouin's a Playmaker who sets up quality goal scoring chances especially on PP
He's got his issues but our PP blows in general
Through 3 different PP system changes he's remained constantly producing for MTL
I'd feel a ton better if he was making 4.25m dollars on the term he got
But honestly the BS with the french media he has to endure is surely worth what he's overpaid
