Thread: Canadiens amp Oilers Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BigOaf69</b></div><div>3 4th liners, JP = a 3rd at most and 2 picks for a guy who is still at top 6 F and had an "off year" and still had 53 points</div></div>

The real trade is Drouin for Puljujarvi along with the 2nd and 5th (originally I had the 5th as a 4th). The other 3 guys are throw in expiring contracts to keep Edmonton under the cap, just like I have Hudon as a throw in to make the contract numbers work for Montreal. I also have those 3 guys being sent down to the AHL, except for Brodziak because he's hurt and if I'm remembering correctly long term (might be wrong on that). Also Gagner could be used in a sheltered line with a lot of powerplay minutes (kind of like what Columbus managed to do with him) if one of the Canadiens rookies start to fade and then hopefully near the deadline you might be able to flip Gagner for a pick.

Drouin is a top six winger but I don't believe his consistency and defense play will allow him to ever become a true top line winger. Also personally 50 point players in my mind are 2nd line players and through 4 an half seasons Drouin so far hasn't cracked 60 points.
