Leafs pass

Aside from not having the cap space to do the deal, Drouin has a negative value even with 50% retention.

I would rather focus on trading Hoffman or Dadonov. I think Drouin-Dach-Anderson can be a very surprising line where we could see the best of Drouin.

And if the rumour is true about Dubois, both Drouin and Dubois are from St-Agathe-des-Monts, and Dubois and Anderson are good friends.

Dadonov @50% might be the next shoe to drop. I would look at Washington, and maybe St-Louis.

Speaking only about cap situations, Drouin for Walker (plus or not) doesn't work for one team or the other. The only formulation that keeps Los Angeles under the cap is Walker (with or without Vilardi, who isn't counting towards the cap right now because he is unsigned) for Drouin with 50% retention, but then you'd be over the cap, perhaps even without adding a 23rd player (whether that's Vilardi or someone else).

incarceratedbob twitter account mentioned Kings interest in Drouin so im just wondering about value. Kings cap issues need to be be solved elsewhere as Habs can’t help.

I don’t think Dubois comes to Montreal. I think there where talks at draft but those fell through.
Dadonov at 50% works too. Someone needs to go. But the incarceratedbob twitter account mentioned Drouin in rumours to Red wings or kings so just wondering value

Interesting, I didn't know about the rumors to DET and LAK
