People on other days would be quick to offer Bo/McCann/any of our other prospects for Drouin straight up. But now, after its now known that he's asked for a trade, people are now lowballing value pretty hard. Understandably so. So, does asking for a trade significantly/less significantly reduce trade value? Yes it does. That's why we got baertschi for a second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks Prophet Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 3 hours ago, Toews said: He hasn't been given a fair shot. Players worse than him are given time on Tampa's top line as the coach plays favorites. Drouin spent the entire year on Tampa's 4th line and produced despite playing with plugs and with limited minutes. I can't recall Bo ever complaining when he spent his whole rookie year playing on the 4th line, barely cracking 10 minutes a night. Just an interesting note that came to mind. Tampa Bay is in a strange situation this year. They could lose their franchise player, and now a high drafted prospect. I predict they'll face a similar downfall as the Canucks after our Stanley Cup loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young potential top 6 player plus a 2nd or 3rd if they don't have stamkos re-signed before the dealine yzerman has to trade him at TDL or he is an utter failure as a GM. they can't risk losing him for nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noseforthenet Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 This whole thing with Drouin makes me think of Marty St Louis. I think these two really need to have a talk. I wonder if if Marty has seen him play much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonny_Bohonos_14 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Tampa is still making a push, so I would expect Stevie to want players that can help now. Vrbata (50% retained/pending UFA) + Baerstchi (young, cheap roster player) + 3rd For Drouin + Cap Dump (save cap for Stamkos/pending RFAs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drouin spent the entire year on Tampa's 4th line and produced despite playing with plugs and with limited minutes. I don't buy that. Palat 7th round, Johnson undrafted & Kucherov 2knd round are all examples of guys who won the coaches trust and play. And they play very well! They skate, hound the puck, dig in the corners, play passing lanes and then are absolutely deadly when they head up ice. Drouin is also deadly when he heads up ice, all the talent in the world. But there is more to the game... 3 hours ago, b3. said: Wtf is going on in Tampa lately...? Stevie quite apparently plays the control card. Not all guys who are used to having their own way, in fact that's what made them what they are, give in so readily? Plus it sounds like there might be some politics, again common in control games, that play behind the scenes. MSL wanted out. Now he's not the only one!

Hockey gods are supplying so many ways for Benning to do a quick rebuild, but he can't grasp the idea. Drouin would look great on Canucks'. This is why the critics continue to bash this team because if they said we are rebuilding, they would be in realistic trade partners. Drouin for Edler would be the trade to make and it would allow this team to tank and nab a top 5 this year. Hence rebuilding but what management is doing with the team is something else lol Edler, prospect + 2nd for Drouin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Lol at Tampa fans complaining about having to wait 4 years for their team to have success. Didn't they make it to the finals once already under Yzerman, not to mention they already have a cup. Trying being a Canucks fan and having to wait 17 years between going to the finals and NOT winning. I guess it's our own fault that we're not a Southern American team that gets gifted cups early in their existence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 We would have to offer up Horvat or McCann for Yzerman to even listen. Not sure if it's in our best interest to keep giving up our own drafted and developed players for other teams. If we want a top player like this we should get them in the draft.

Honky Cat Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 There seems to be some red flags with this player,even though his talent level is off the charts....As a GM.you would be making a career defining trade,if you traded for this player....You would have to give up a lot for his 'potential'(which is risky),because he has not proved it at the pro level yet.

Lonny_Bohonos_14 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 I feel like Drouin will be dealt for a big rental or maybe some sort of swap for a young ELC. Tampa has plenty of assets that they could move for an all in move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sestito Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 virtanen, vrbata or hamhuis as rental throw ins, whatever else they want this is the kind of young asset you make a move for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
