I think sometimes we're too hung up on point thresholds with some players and sometimes not hung up on it enough for other players. Like some 2nd line wingers might not break the 50 point mark in a season and I'd still say they're a 2nd line winger or at least could be if they're hitting at least the 40+ point mark, I think as long as the line they're on works and it produces roughly what's expected of an average 2nd line then so be it.
Like is Hyman a top 6 winger? Idk if he is but he produces and his line works so so be it. It seems many think Kapanen is only a 3rd line winger but he could very likely be a 2nd line winger on many teams in the league and put on a line that he works on I could see him break the 50 point mark.
As for Drouin I'd say he's worth a 1st, I mean he produces pretty much in line with his contract value (or he would if he could stay healthy) and has a good amount of term left. If a guy like Palmieri who most think is gonna take a 1st+ to get how is Drouin who has two more seasons of term left not gonna start with a 1st? As for the value of what extras it'd take who knows, the value of a 2nd round pick or an A-prospect or B-prospect could be debated forever.. Lol
