I like it

Didnt he ask to play center? I think you are better off moving him for up and coming prospects. I think limiting Drouin to 13 minutes a night is also a poor idea. I understand sheltering Kotki though. I think Drouin gets underrated overall on here by most fans (except havs fans, hes usually overrated). He's a top 6 caliber player and should be playing top 6 minutes.

Yup, oilers accept!!

trade for a $4M backup? no thanks

Blues should be asking for at least a 3rd for Allen. I really don’t think MTL is a great place for him because he is best as a 1A/1B guy and with Price entrenched as the starter making 10.5, it’s just not a great fit.

Drouin will play a lot on the PP + he had chemistry with KK and Armia in the past. Byron-Domi have chemistry Suzuki-Kovalchuk

You can do better on the draft pick for Allen.

I'm not disagreeing with chemistry here, I just think MTL should look to retool around their young guys for 2-3 years down the road and IMO that doesnt include Domi. I see their future center core being Suzuki - Kotki - Danault - Poeling

While having Domi Drouin Lehkonen on the LW with Gallagher Caufield Ylönen/Armia on the RW

Will you retained then ?

I don't see Tatar staying and I see MTL and them as a team that needs to retool around their young center (Suzuki) and Caufield. Because eventually Boston is going to crumble. I think moving Domi is a very viable option especially if it gives versatility in the future

You know Domi is young, same as Drouin Lehkonen

I do, i just see him as not a great fit for the future

If we draft Perfetti, I could see him moved

Even without retention, he's worth at least a 4th if not a 3rd. And he'll be worth it.

Make it a 4th then
