Drouin could certainly become a great player, but he could also bust, like plenty of smallish skilled wingers have in the past, and will in the future.

No they are not the same player but Drouin is no plug on the NHL. He has very high upside and I don't think the Flames are going to be picking top 5/10 this year and doubt a mid first rounder on this draft will have an impact on the team as quickly as Drouin who is the same age as our young core.
