Will he be traded? We don't know yet, but one thing is for sure, according to tipster Marco D'Amico, the forward would finally be available on the trade market, so all that would remain is to know which teams would be interested and what the return would be for the 92.
But since he only played 34 games last year, he still had a respectable 20 points and we agree that a player of his caliber would fit perfectly in the style of play that Kent Hughes wants to implement. I am also convinced that Martin St-Louis would like to coach his former Lightning teammate for a longer period of time.
Obviously, this will depend on how things turn out for the Habs next season, but if Drouin had a very good season, his value at the trade deadline would be much higher than it is now. Unless Kent Hughes receives an interesting offer by the beginning of next season.
