Quoting: GiggywithGibby
Finding a way to make the pieces work starts with the deal having some semblance of sanity to it. Under what condition or assumption do you think the Ducks are buyers this year? What does Drouin add to Anaheim? Why would we give up multiple good prospects to get him?
You sell rentals to teams who are making a making a push deep into the playoffs, the Ducks are firmly in the middle of a rebuild. If we want Drouin, we will sign him in free agency at the end of the year.
Under what conditions does Klingberg sign a 1 year deal?
For the purpose's to be show cased on top and potentially earn a deal in theory right?
Biggest reason is clearly so he can be sold as fluffing his numbers up at the TDL to a Contender IMO
Drouin gives them the same chance as most of Drouins issues are the fact he has to live in MTL
Most French players dont actually handle the pressure well its the Gallaghers, Pitlicks and Caufield's the Camera's love
Unlike the French players they dont pay attention to the language issue as much , they dont have to
My point is Comtois is out
Drouin seem's like a smart piece to add
If its me
Drouin
Ylonen(Top Pro Winger Prospect outside Slavkosky oblviously)
Mysak(i'd rank him similar to Groulx potential but younger)
2nd round pick in 2024 (conditional 1st if Comtois signed 5 years to more )
3rd round pick in 2023 (conditional 2nd if Drouin doesnt play 40 games by seasons end)
for
Comtois
Groulx
5th in 2023
ANA recoops assets , get's a shot at a 1st and can possibly flip Drouin
Even if Drouin craps out A- prospect , B+ Prospect , 2nd that likely will become a 1st if Comtois plays well this season and a 3rd aka Drouin isnurance policy
