i can't see montreal refusing this one. Jost could use more minutes (only 13 rn). They have money for Calvert so if it helps you. Anderson, well put him in ECHL and the draft is in MTL so 2 1st round isnt bad for fans

dear god...no.

it kills me to see so many people overestimate Drouin. Would you pay as much for Alex Wennberg or Anthony Mantha ? Because there is the comparison for Drouin among the guys drafted in 2013. They have in common to have enough talent to play in the NHL and pick up 50-60 pts/year without having to move the ass too hard. Too lazy guys. They have a lot more potential than that but they are just happy guys like that I guess. They are far from MacKinnon or Barkov or Monahan.

Absolutely not from the Avs PoV. Absolutely yes from Montreal & Anaheims perspective. Awful. Getzlaf isn't needed, and Drouin is way too lazy and a massive overpay. That would be a huge gamble at best and even IF he sparked up with MacK it's still a huge overpay for what you're looking at now, and probably in the future as well. He's probably worth the 1st straight up but that's about all MTL would (or should) get.
