Jonathan Drouin's Future Remains Uncertain
Last Monday, left winger Jonathan Drouin of the Montreal Canadiens was seen leaving a training session in Brossard. He's back on the rink and getting ready to play in September.
While GM Marc Bergevin stated that Drouin should return to the team in September, his future remains uncertain.
Drouin might return to the team and play for the remainder of his deal. His $5.5 million AAV expires in two years, making him a UFA. Drouin also presented a list of three teams he does not want dealt to in the last two years.
Drouin could also return to the Canadiens in September, play a little, and show what he can do to maximise his market worth before being sold. I'd assume only if he wants to be traded and Bergevin can get him a good price.
We don't know what Drouin was or is going through, but if it's related to the pressure and all that comes with a huge hockey market, he might ask to be traded.
A huge season for him if he wants to come back and compete to finish his contract in Montreal, just to prove everyone wrong and play some of his finest hockey in his career.
Drouin could also return for a trial run to see whether he is actually ready to return to hockey and if he wants to stay in Montreal or move.
