I'd be pissed if the ducks, or any team in our div got Drouin.

People are so quick to assume they know what's going on with him.
This is a guy who outscored mackinnon on the same team, and was younger by a margin.
He still has a huge chance to be a player in this league. I think he can learn from watching Gaudreau and how he picks his spots and where to shine and use his agility and skill.

I think Drouin is still one of the most talented young players in this league and he can still hit his potential. Just needs to learn when and where to be fancy and also how to play with similar commitment everywhere. Offensive zone, d zone, neutral .

I get the Baer comparisons. I think Drouin is a way way higher caliber prospect though. If he makes it he will be a perennial all star. Sadly for him it's 1st line superstar winger or bust.
