Here's a quote by reported Dan Kingerski on Jonathan Drouin and what he can bring to the table for Crosby and the Penguins:
«If there's a player on the market who could come close to Guentzel, it's Drouin. However, the playmaking winger has yet to fully tap into his talent over his ten-year career.
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

«His defensive work has also been recognized, for Jonathan. Drouin would represent a continuation of the Penguins' skill and talent, but at a lower cost, leaving more money for other needs.» - 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.
