shrader Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Monahan was the steal of that draft... I'm still holding out hope that we wind up with the steal of that draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Some team will take him, have no doubt. The potential is too high. How many teams have taken a flyer on Cody H or Zack K so far? I wouldn't even mind seeing him in a Sabres uniform for the next couple years if the price isn't too high. I was very cautious about Ryan O'Reilly because he made a stink while he was in Colorado, and that turned out OK. It's going to take another TrueBlue level of persuasion for me to bite on Drouin. I'd take a flier on him, for sure, but I'm not giving them a 1st or any roster players. The good thing is, Tampa burned his ELC, and anything he does in a year likely won't be enough to demand any substantial cap hit, so he could be very cheap. It's good to know that the majority of his numbers came when he was on the ice with Jonathan Drouin. :lol: He's great at playing with himself. Over 988 minutes of it. No wonder he got demoted, he's blind out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGR4GM Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 I'm still holding out hope that we wind up with the steal of that draft. I think we have the Defensive steal of the draft. Nurse and Jones have not reached the level Risto has yet. Kevin Devine did well to push for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorny Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Most of the time when it comes to trades, it doesn't matter where a guy was taken in the draft. But here, less than 3 years removed from his drafting, it is very much a factor. There is no "buy low" with him right now. It's going to take a lot more than what people are suggesting here. Personally, I'm not interested. The red flags are too numerous at this point. If this is the case, I wouldn't be interested in Drouin. But if we can get him for, say, Ennis and a 3rd, I make the trade. His potential is worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 He needs a new agent :D I suspect his agent is doing exactly what he was asked. A good agent will certainly take the fall for his client. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjd1001 Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 I don't really want him that much. The most I would do is Ennis and a 2nd...but I don't think that would be enough for Tampa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His potential is worth it. After tampa signs stamkos, they can't take on any high salaries, not even of the 2 mill kind. They want a young nhl ready player on his elc. They need to resign hedman and the triplets next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Buffalo Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) I'm not enough aware of drama within the Lightning team. I guess that's the part I'm not getting.I have been reading and will need to look up sources that Stamkos and Cooper have had some contentiousness lately, though not sure extent, along with Drouin issue, Cooper is too rigid with his players... sounds like some personalities involved with player relationships and Cooper. http://www.hockeyfeed.com/nhl-news/stamkos-denies-recent-rumours-about-leaving-tampa-jon-cooper/ http://toomanymenonthesite.com/2016/01/04/tampa-bay-lightning-rumors-unhappy-players/ Edited January 21, 2016 by North Buffalo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if we actually get him and I have to try to calm a board meltdown I'll be motivated to put something together :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 Chris Nichols @NicholsOnHockey 17h17 hours ago Dreger: Talking to league execs today, "everybody wanted to throw Allan Walsh under the bus." Be mindful, he works for Drouin. #TBLightning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 Ducks' Bob Murray had a quote out there (sorry no link) where he was clearly just smirking at what Drouin and Walsh are doing here. Called it "amazing" that a guy on an ELA would hold out and demand a trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but I don't think the problem is asking to be traded, I bet that happens more often then we hear, I think the problem is the holding out and developments of yesterday.

Samson's Flow Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 True but I don't think the problem is asking to be traded, I bet that happens more often then we hear, I think the problem is the holding out and developments of yesterday. Especially since he has very little leverage since he has yet to even sniff his first big contract. Big gamble that if it backfires he never gets a chance at the first contract that pays him anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
