Hard pass on Drouin. He's a league minimum type player if you ask me at this point in his career. Too much uncertainty and a lack of proof to justify giving him a job. People have been talking about this type of scenario for years. Bringing in a skilled guy and hoping he will "click" and explode on the stat sheet. He hasn't played more than 60 games in 4 years and he's cracked 20 goals once. He hasn't had more than 10 goals since 2018-2019. I understand the hope, but I just haven't seen it after several opportunities. I'd love to be proven wrong. I really like Drouin's game. But unfortunately his "potential" just hasn't been there. Plus, he would not be welcomed in Tampa's locker room or fanbase more than likely. No reason to bring in a potential problem or waste precious money on a gamble.
