While many analysts are questioning his future as a free agent, Drouin clearly revealed his intentions.
He wants to stay with the Colorado Avalanche, and it seems he will remain there even if he could sign a bigger contract elsewhere. Wow.
We are far from the Jonathan that some saw playing in Europe not so long ago.
According to the renowned insider, it's a done deal.
He is convinced! Let's just hope that Drouin can be paid fairly, because we know that the Avalanche are extremely tight financially, and it's certain that Jonathan will leave money on the table to return to play there.
He is still likely to earn more than the $825,000 he made this season, but it will be interesting to see by how much.
Drouin, 29, amassed 56 points in 79 games this season, including 19 goals. It was easily his best season in his career, as he was the top scorer for Colorado after Nathan Mackinnon, Mikko Rantanen, and Cale Makar.
Drouin added 3 points in 3 playoff games.
We are really happy for him! How much should he sign for his next contract, in your opinion?
