A few days after the signing of former Canadiens forward Jonathan Drouin, a journalist covering the Colorado Avalanche for The Athletic revealed the potential line combinations that head coach Jared Bednar could use for the 2023-2024 season.
If Jonathan Drouin indeed starts the season alongside his good friend Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen, it is expected to be a highly productive offensive season for the 28-year-old forward. It would be a dream scenario for him to revitalize his career.
Honestly, we truly hope he gets such an opportunity. Although his production significantly declined after his first two seasons with the Canadiens, there is no doubt that Drouin possesses immense talent. By pairing him with two NHL superstars like Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen, it would not be surprising to see Drouin flourish next year.
Jonathan Drouin signed a one-year contract worth $825,000 with the Colorado Avalanche. In 485 NHL games, number 27 has accumulated 77 goals and 204 assists (281 points) so far.
