Sounds like a lot of frustration with Cooper's coaching style in general, so could be that Drouin would do better in another system.

Yes, but fans fall in love very quickly with high profile prospects then look for scapegoats who aren't the player if things aren't going to plan, it's pretty common. It happens all time in here too. You see it everyday in here, Hartley is to blame if young player X isn't being used or getting enough ice time or playing the PP enough or some veteran they hate got more ice time.
If you came searching this forum at the begging of the Sven "situation" you'd have left with the understanding that Hartley and Burke had a personal hate on for the kid and they were screwing him up and over.
