Drouin Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Drouin didn't age? Is this a superpower? Honest question. If you could choose one, you'd really pick Mantha? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prison Bull Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 im talking about the qmjhl clown. he has more goals over the 2 seasons because druin has missed games due to injury and playing in 2 yes 2 count them TWO WORLD JR. TOURNAMENTS. ehos the troll. also more points does not equal better player. hockey games are won and lost on ice. not paper. troll 108 posts since 09. find your way back to whatever bridge you crawled our from.

thad Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 We need to go for a D-man in this draft. DeAngelo or Fleury. We definitely don't want our future to look like Edmonton's with skill at the front and nothing in the back. 2013/2014 Yakupov 24 Pts -33 Murray 21 Pts +4 We could use a lefty, I'd take Fluery. We have a similar player to deangelo in Subban. Later pick but that's probably just due to jordans size. As I've said in earlier posts, I think a guy like Fluery 6'3 200lbs physical great skating defensive guy could be a key to the success of a small offensive guy like subban. Also Fluery had 46 points this year. That's not bad at all. Scouts still say he has more to give on the offensive side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedman Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Drouin didn't age? Is this a superpower? I rather meant Drouin would probably be even more dominant next year. You can't just look at last years stats and compare them to this years stats... they lost Nathan freaking MacKinnon to the Avs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prison Bull Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Drouin is still a more complete player. Just stating Drouin should have had a better season. His value has dropped off a bit considering other players have played well in the NHL and scored 20+ goals (Monahan). I know the Q's stats are inflated due to their emphasis on offence. Just because a player scores a lot in juniors, it doesn't always translate to points in the NHL. Mantha improved significantly over his draft year and is closing the gap between the two.

I think Drouin would have made about a dozen NHL teams... certainly Calgary. Just because a player made the NHL right away doesn't necessarily mean that they will be better than anyone who didn't make the NHL right after being drafted. Drouin is doing fine.

Prison Bull Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Everyone knows Ehlers plays with Drouin - without looking, Mantha plays with who? If Drouin is this super hockey god as several posters have argued, then we shouldn't pick Ehlers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noseforthenet Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Seriously you guys and your arguing about Drouin. Has anyone thought he may have just been cut because of his size and they want him to grow and put on a little weight before playing in the NHL?! The skill is obviously there and he is better than Mantha. It's just a testament to how awesome last season's draft was! We see it all the time. Kids with tons of skill but not enough size and bulk getting injured. Nuge, Hertl, just to name two. There's way more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Drouin is this super hockey god as several posters have argued, then we shouldn't pick Ehlers. That's like saying Dal Colle is no good cause he plays with Laughton, which isn't true. Watch Ehlers play and you'll see he's not being carried by Drouin. He makes things happen on his own. Scouts are smart, they wouldn't rank him in the top 6 if he was being carried by a better player.

Good post I think people almost assume now a days that a player that plays with another good player is simply carrying the other player or is being carried. Such a negative connotation linked with each other, its kinda weird to say the least. Oh course players play better with better plays around them, simple fact in itself, but lets not disregard individual skills. When Ehlers is compared to guys like Naslund, Bure and Forsberg, he is doing more than his fair share of stuff himself too. What many are also forgetting is that when Druoin was at the WJC Ehlers was still capable in leading the Mooseheads with their best player's absense. Jan 4. before Drouin and Fucale came back from the WJC Ehlers posted a 5 point night to spark a comeback after being down 3-1 to win 5-3 http://metronews.ca/sports/899876/ehlers-five-point-night-sparks-mooseheads-come-from-behind-victory-over-saint-john/ He certainly can hold his own. I think he would be a great game breaking player, something this team has lacked for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorevat Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Lets just say we take Ehlers, imagine the young stars tourney in penticton lol: Ehlers-Horvat-Jensen(assuming jensen can play) Shinkaruk-Gaunce-Cassels Fox-LaBate-Grenier Blomstrand-Mallet-Friesen Tommernes-Corrado Hutton-Subban Cederholm-Mceneny Cannata Thats a pretty good lineup, excluding any other possible first round selections or later round selections Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
