I would keep Ferland 10 out of 10, even straight up. Drouin is a project with upside.. he's young, sure sure, but I would keep a multi-dimensional player over someone who needs to be coddled positionally for success.

Drouin has had a hard time moving up Tampa's deep forward group. Cooper also has been loyal to players that he won the Calder Cup with. I think that is the main reason Drouin asked for a trade he wants a fresh start. Kyle Turris scored 11 goals and 25pts the season before he was traded. He is on pace for his third straight 25 goal season in Ottawa.
