St. Louis agreed to elaborate a bit more on his plans for Drouin, and on Drouin's future this season:
"He's in my plans. His potential is intact, that's for sure. Now it's about helping him reach that potential."
"In camp, he missed some time and he's behind the others in terms of conditioning. He's coming back from an injury, we have 15 forwards and that's something I have to manage."
"Every guy has value, and it's up to them to bring it up. When his value fits, Jonathan is going to be in a position to succeed."
