If Drouin wants to face his demons

Created by: GarthBrooks
Team: 2023-24 Tampa Bay Lightning
Initial Creation Date: Jun. 6, 2023
Published: Jun. 6, 2023
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
jokes but if he believes he has some stuff to work out in his head about his career trajectory and that it started once he left tampa and he spiritually believes that returning here can act as a reset, JBB tells him the teams ready for another run and if he's effective there should be better contracts in the market for him afterwards
JBB goes with the potential he saw in myers over the reliability of bogosian
ABB isn't going to play in the lineup but he should so JBB trades him to a team where he can actually compete for spots

100%. Not a horrible trade for Tampa, but I wouldn't do it.

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.

I think NYI says no only because Fasching is getting the league minimum and they'd like to see him play a full season. I don't know how much Colton is expected to get in his new contract.
