<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>OldmanWebber</b></div><div>As much as I wanted to throw my tv out the window last year watching Drouin play, I think it is still a year to early to give up on him. I watched him play here in Halifax and maturity has always been an issue with him.His skill is undeniable but he needs to commit to being a pro on and off the ice and with and without the puck. I want to see one more year from this kid to see if he can pull t together before I cut bait with him.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Billy739</b></div><div>Wrong time to trade him
His dad was telling me in june at the Mooseheads playoff game he just changed his training style .
he's done trying to get faster , it didnt help him last year
this year he packing on Muscle and playing with a Chip on his shoulder .

if he learns to use his frame to cycle pucks out from the boards he's worth more to us here then we could acquire trading him .

Drouin's had 3 coaches in his 3 first years as a player in 3 completely different systems and maintained 50 point average over his first 3 seasons until now.To Provide Context one of my Fav Center in Barkov took 5 years to hit 50 pts once before he figured out how to use his size . Selling Low just for him to hit a new team like Domi did and explode would never be lived down either</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>seanross</b></div><div>I mean, he had almost 60 this year? as a 23yo? having a big slump at the end.. if he find a way to be consistent he can and will be a 60-70 pts player</div></div>

I have no doubt he can be a 65+ point guy if he matures and becomes consistent. But that’s the hardest thing about being a pro athlete is finding that. That’s what makes or breaks a lot of skill guys and why teams like more grittier players sometimes over him because they know what there getting every night. I seen him in Halifax and he was dominate but lazy at times too. I seen him play this year and I didn’t even know he played till the end of the game I seen him in celebrations with price. Major question mark but has skill.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>F50marco</b></div><div>The values are all off here.

Petry is a good player that should return a decent asset back but if the Habs are looking to move him, think something more along the lines of what Toronto paid for Muzzin (similar but not exactly) last year. The best asset of the deal will be a lottery protected 1st round pick, not a high end top prospect. Then add a couple lesser pieces to that in the form of B prospects and/or some additional later picks. Habs may have to retain some salary or take a not so big cap dump in return though but that shouldn't be a problem if they moving Petry's salary out.</div></div>

That's the only big differences between both Muzzin and Petry. Muzzin was sent with his big old 4M$ all out but the rumours here on ACGM are -almost- all including a 50% retained salary and that's an asset that the other trade partner would have to pay for. Maybe not an A+ prospect but I could definitely see a GM pay/overpay on TDL and give an A or A- prospect plus a pick in return if he really believes that he's the missing piece . If they even take on a ''bad'ish'' short term contract I see picks coming back on top of prospect/s. My personal last ArmchairGM included a Petry (With2-2.5M$ retained less is better I guess) + 5th round traded to the Jets for Vallati, Gawanke, 2020 1st, 2021 3rd and Kulikov. I don't know if I'm far from the return you think we should get but I thought it was pretty good to get picks and two B+ prospects, I know it may not be position of needs that we get back but hey! It's ACGM after all.
