Pretty sure that Drouin will not get traded right now. But this would make the Habs contenders for sure.

I think this is a good deal for both teams.
Thumbs up!

Id be ok with it, not sure I can see Tampa doing this.
Also, on your line up, where is Davidson if Beaulieu is taken by Vegas.? Or even Emelin. I can't see Sergachev being a regular next season,

If Danault is your second line centre then how is this a playoff team?

Why would Tampa do this? Drouin is better and it doesn't fill a need. If Drouin is traded its for D.

Well. Danault isn't an ideal 2nd line center , however they did make the playoffs with him as a number 1.
I see him as more a number 3.

Yeah like why would Tampa do this? And is galchenyuk that bad? Why wouldn't you guys want to keep him lol. I'll be honest I don't watch him or know how he does so please enlighten me.

MCJESUS. he's got all the talent in the world. but jus doesn't engage himself. Lacks on the defensive side of the game. seems like if things aren't going well in first few shifts he jus gives up on teammates, and tries to dippsy doodle around everyone, which leads to turnovers 95% of the time.
I also think he hasn't been coached properly. they let him be center, he struggles a game or 2. and they put him on the wing. so he probably has low confidence.
I think the pressure of the Habs needing a number one center when he was drafter hurt him. Habs brass mismanaged him. them and the fans put to much pressure on an 18 year old kid at the time. he woulda benefited from more JR and maybe some AHL time.

Tampa would only trade Drouin for a young elite defender.

Drouin might get traded but agree that he would only be dealt for elite help on D. This doesn't make Tampa any better doing this trade. And at the end of the day, Montreal will not be a true contender like people say until they have a legit elite centre. So trading a guy that hasn't lived up to his expectations, but is still the closest you have to a #1 centre for a guy that you have coming in playing 2nd line wing makes zero sense as well.

Honestly my favourite part is the ''both are 3rd overall picks'' gee, thanks! That sure evens things out because they were both taken 3rd overall.

@tysonbarrie2 I was just pointing out things they have in common and there's a reason why they were taken at that position. I get why you're salty though, going to be awhile before you see your team in the post season, keep up the constructive comments bud its working out for ya.

@Montreality
You know he is an Oil fan right? Last time I checked Oil are still playing and Habs have started golfing.

@hotguybabes kinda hard to know when your name
Is tyson barrie. regardless oilers haven't been in the playoff for the last 10 seasons, i would wait a bit longer before you start getting cocky.

OH I agree with you, first time making the playoffs and round 2 since 2006 and some Oil fans (none from this site tho) are already talking dynasty lol.

The Oilers are going to be a force now for years to come but listening to Fair Trade4all is sickening. He tops pinball and Montrealsfinest.

sorry, but nobody tops MontrealsFinest. By far in a league of his own at the top of the delusion chart.
FairFrade4All is a very very close second tho, I would absolutely agree to that as a fellow Oilers fan. Lol
Call him EdmontonsFinest for all I care. Lol.

You might be right yup. The problem with EdmontonsFinest is I think he does have some hockey knowledge in there somewhere. He just under values every leaf player because of hate and over values every Oiler. When he posts something that doesn't involve those 2 teams, he sometimes makes sense. MontrealsFinest is just off his rocker, but very entertaining.
