There's a reason half the teams in the NHL have expressed interest in Drouin - talent like that is extraordinarily rare.

It certainly seems one of us will be surprised. I hope we get to find out in the next few days. I'm pretty confident I won't be the one shocked, not after seeing the number of trades that have gone down the past couple of years. I mean, who would have thought you would see Hamilton moved for just draft picks, or Shinkaruk for only Granlund, Sutter for crap, and Oshie for next to nothing? And these were guys playing well or with an established body of work. We'll see how it plays out.
