The case of Jonathan Drouin drew a lot of attention today, as head coach Martin St-Louis unveiled his first "official" lineup.

To the surprise of many, the Quebec forward is not on a regular lineup and seems to be on the way to being left out for the first game of the new 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."
