Montreal Canadiens: Analytics Can’t Save Jonathan Drouin Anymore

2023-24 and Beyond: What Does the Future Hold for Jonathan Drouin?
No matter how much longer Drouin has left in the NHL or professional hockey in general, there will always be that one coach, or scout, or person he met at the grocery store who will desperately and I mean desperately try to find the sliver of good in the now 28-year old.
However, as I’ve mentioned in my past writings, at this point trying to find the positives with Drouin, for me personally, is less grasping at straws and more akin to grasping at the concept of straws, and I think that summarizes enough of how Drouin’s career has progressed and subsequently gone off the rails, no matter how much fans and analysts alike try to shovel coal into the train as it goes off the rails.
As the 2022-23 NHL season continues on, we’re slowly but surely realizing who are the cream of the crop Cup Contenders and who are still a few years away, and in spite of continued strong performances from the Colorado Avalanche and occasionally, the Montreal Canadiens, it seems as though Jonathan Drouin, will continue to drift as the one player in which you truly, shouldn’t let advanced metrics fool you. 3 Points in 15 games is all I see.
