The head coach emphasized that number 92 now has the tools in his toolbox, according to Drouin and the organization as well. He's been working hard in Brossard for the past several weeks, both on the ice and/or in the gym. He's smiling. He's fine right now, but when the first punch comes, how will he react, even if he has the tools?
Basically, Ducharme wants Drouin to be good, and then where he plays is not the most important thing right now. Whether it's center or wing, the priority is that the human being continues to be in the state of mind he is in now.
By the way, Dominique Ducharme didn't say anything about Jonathan Drouin being on his top-6, but he did say that he would certainly be on his top-9.
