Drouin vs. Monahan/Lindholm & Gaudreau....

I'd stick with the latter to be honest.

Is Drouin better than Gaudreau? Possibly/Probably. But he's not going to put up the points himself that Monahan/Lindholm would instead of another center prospect in the system.

While Quality vs. Quantity is something the Flames management has struggled with lately... this is the case where you have 2 very quality pieces vs. 1 very quality piece.

Don't forget... Gaudreau has had an extra year to develop vs. this year's picks, so there's a better feel for where he's at. The risk is less for him to drop off as far as potential goes vs. those drafted this year.
