Insider links Jonathan Drouin to Crosby's Penguins
Penguins journalist Dan Kingerski has linked Colorado Avalanche pending UFA Jonathan Drouin to the PIttsburgh Penguins.
The Pittsburgh Penguins will most definitely be in the market for a new winger to play with captain Sidney Crosby going into next season. Colorado Avalanche forward Jonathan Drouin could be a solid option for them.
Drouin, repeatedly said how he enjoyed his time in Colorado, however after a fifty point season with the Avalanche, it appears that he may be due for a pay raise that may not fit the cards for GM Chris MacFarland and the Avalanche.
Here's a quote by reported Dan Kingerski on Jonathan Drouin and what he can bring to the table for Crosby and the Penguins:
After overcoming personal issues, he had a good season with the Colorado Avalanche and his friend Nathan MacKinnon, scoring 18 goals and setting career highs with 37 assists and 56 points. Drouin, 29, is expected to sign a new contract worth about $5 million for four years.» - Dan Kingerski
The possibility of Jonathan Drouin remaining an Avalanche remains big as he has a close relationship with star forward Nathan Mackinnon, however he would have to be very lenient and may have to take a pay cut if he really believes in the plan in the rocky state.
