Karine Hains: Drouin the Canadiens’ Nominee for the King Clancy Award As fans patiently wait for the Canadiens-Leafs match-up to get underway, the team announced yesterday that Jonathan Drouin would be its nominee for the King Clancy Trophy.

Good for him, best of luck with Seattle

Eichel was Buffalo's nominee. Make of that what you will

so you're saying Drouin for Eichel?

Eichel is in a weird situation I heard, he wants to get a disc replacement (neck), a procedure no other NHL player did in the past but it's been done successfully in Europe with grass diving players. The Sabres are refusing and it looks like the CBA allows them to block the operation.

sounds to me like he's just looking to get the (frank) out of Buffalo

Correct, he can get a second opinion from doctors that are not members of the Sabres organisation but the Sabres have the last word. I can't imagine that it's good for the relations between player and team but if he asks for a trade, will he want to get the operation before playing? Tricky

Jordan Weal has already signed a contract for next year, in the KHL

I'd be more optimistic about the Habs fighting chances if I had any faith in the coaching staff. Cc KK and Romanov out? And to top it off Staal and Armia on a power play unit? What the (frank) is that garbage.

Hopefully, by game 2, there will be some changes.

Nah, not worth giving him up and taking on the 10 M price tag, even if he is what the habs need.
Although if they took back Drouin and Byron too to make the money work I might think about it.

Yeah it was one of Eliotte's thoughts. People in other contact sports have done it successfully but if I'm Buffalo, unless insurance has said absolutely no, I'd have already let him get the surgery. Weird situation indeed

yeah, that's where I heard it, the 31 thoughts podcast

Maple Leafs win in 4 games, the Habs are even lucky to be in the playoffs.

It reached +30°C (86.5°F) in the Arctic today. Hotter than pretty much all of Europe right now.

We all gonna die..

So Drouin Is done In Montreal, Wonder what's going on there.
