So the Flames have 2 or 3 forwards and 3 defenders who can put up points.... IMO this team has focused on 2 way game too long and although I do agree that everyone needs to have a little bit of a 2 way game, it shouldn't be the main focus of a player. I don't think Drouin is ever going to be a selke nominee but I don't think he's at the Taylor Hall/Phil the thrill Kessel level of having 0 defensive game.
My point is that the Flames need guys who can put up points, they don't have that or at least not enough of them. Drouin would be a great second line player behind Johnny that would help spread out the scoring. Right now if a team shuts down Johnny and Monahan, the team is useless. The Flames need more secondary scoring and I think Drouin would provide that.
