Habs have to add a 2nd to dump Drouin and a 2nd for the value of Schultz.

Shultz is not worth a second. Guy’s washed

That's a bad trade for Montreal, we have great winger depth, let's keep it, we also don't need a top 4 RD, plus Jo is more valuable than Schultz

Drouin isn't a dump, at least not to us

well with how many trades I see on this website by habs fans, y'all clearly don't want him. And no other team wants him unless assets are going back. Gostisbehere Arizona trade is what I'm looking at if I'm a GM.

He has the name value that will cause GMs to pay up for him. GMs don't think the same way as fans. Regardless, he's not worth less than a 3rd especially if a cap dump is going back.

Caps would give a pretty easy no to this as well. I'm not sure why so many people think Schultz is washed, I thought he had a solid year on the 2nd pair. Not perfect defensively by any stretch, but still a serviceable top four defenseman. Trading away Schultz just creates a hole in the lineup we don't have the money to fill (before someone suggests Nick Jensen, there's a reason we had to sign Schultz in the first place. Jensen isn't a top four defenseman).

I also don't see a place for Drouin in the lineup. Ovechkin, Wilson, Mantha, Oshie, Sprong and Sheary are pretty locked in as the top nine wingers. Having someone with more of a playmaking skillset like Drouin would be nice, but I haven't seen enough out of the rest of his game in the times I've seen him to be convinced that he should get a spot over any of those guys (I would say maybe Sheary, but Laviolette loves his work ethic and versatility). Trade just creates more problems for the Caps.

Not in the world we live in, no.

Habs fans don't live on an earth of realism, so I know that in your world its a no

Drouin is a dump any way you look at it.
