Description

Most people who hate on Drouin have a massive misunderstanding of mental health issues. And I’m probably being too kind. The more likely argument is most probably have significant character flaws that they try and mask through their hate and their anger.
Drouin will likely strongly benefit from a fresh start. There’s very little risk on an expiring contract, and the upside could be huge for a team trying to win now.
Puljujarvi could also use a fresh start. Habs retain salary on Drouin to make it dollar for dollar.
Oilers rent before they buy. Same as they did with Kane. And Kulak.

How many "fresh starts" does this whiney unproductive forward really need? He certainly hasn't earned one

It doesnt matter if drouins issue is a broken leg or mental health, he still has no value as a trade piece.
Your weird rant and terrible justification doesnt change that

He does not produce up to his 5.5 million salary. But leaving aside the money, he has a much higher ppg ratio than JP.

MTL need to add to complete this trade, factors are age and cost control.

I suggested Habs retaining $2.5mm to put him at a $3mm salary. Dollar for dollar trade.
