Sujet: Buyout Drouin and use cap space
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ricochetii</b></div><div>Didn't say bad contract, but even a $1M difference raises expectations. That's the difference between top 6 and middle 6 money. It's like Byron. $3.4M was reasonable for what he was doing, but he's fallen below expectations, so now he's a "bad contract". For even $500k less, he'd still be viewed as a decent bottom 6 forward and PK specialist.

As I said, I agree Drouin has not been treated fairly. This is why we can't have nice things. We poke and prod until they crumble. He has flaws, but he is serviceable as a player and is working on becoming better. He just isn't the French superhero people want him to be.</div></div>

I was agreeing with you on the contract. The $1 million isn’t a big deal, and habs fans overreact because of it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kotkaniemi15</b></div><div>You’re literally talking about $1 million. No one in the league is perceived as a really bad contract because they’re overpaid by $1 milllion, other than maybe Jack Johnson. Also there’s the flat cap, which makes all contracts signed before it look worse.

All the hate for Drouin in this fanbase is just brutal. And everyone just loves to jump on him when he can do nothing to help what’s happening, ie. his personal leave of absence or his injury and struggling play post-returning from injury in 19-20.</div></div>
