I'm not saying you're wrong, but genuinely asking. His comparables (Turris, Nino) were traded for much less. I don't know that I've seen Drouin play a single game since drafted, so I really have no clue where his development is at.
If Backlund and a 2nd could get it done... That'd be fantastic. Don't imagine it would though.

I doubt it's that high. I think a little more than Connolly returned sounds about right. Both are former top 5 picks by the Lightning, both are wingers struggling to find their way. Drouin is a bit younger with a higher ceiling and and lower floor IMO, I don't see why he'd be worth much more. The most I'd do is Poirier+2nd.
