I am not so sure. Drouin had the highest hockey IQ coming into that draft and is considered an elite playmaker. To be able to get a player like that and pair him with the best goal scorer in the game who is still in his early 20's himself will pay off nicely for Tampa.
With how good Monahan is playing there could be an arfument made the Avs should have taken the Flames offer for 6, 22, 28 to get the top pick? Personally I am happy that trade did not happen. While I prefer MacKinnon to Monahan right now I am glad the Flames have Poirer and Klimchuck in the system
