Why would you want to pursue a 'low drive player'?

Better than a bust like Krebs that's never shown anything. I think Conroy has a penchant for going after skill players that have these "issues", whether its drive, or just not being liked by the coach, or being expendable. You can add Kuzmenko, Mantha and even Sharangovich to this list. He finds players that are basically misfits and have been deemed expendable. Every time he's bought in its turned out pretty well. This is another candidate with significant skill you could probably get for a value trade that could end up being a good player on this team... fits Conroy's MO. Would he waive though who knows, maybe he has a chip on his shoulder after being punted aside by Leo Carlsson we don't know.
