Raw Charge Round Table: Expansion Draft

(With special guest, BoltsGuy04.)

Is Jonathan Drouin really that irreplaceable?

Jonathan Drouin is a 22 year old restricted free agent who will need a new contract this year. His last contract was a three-year entry-level deal with an annual salary of $894,167. He will command a significant raise.

Actium (Matt): Here’s the blunt truth. Look at the wingers Tampa Bay has and tell me who, outside of Nikita Kucherov, is an offensive threat with the tools that Drouin has? I’ll wait. The Tampa Bay Lightning are much stronger with Drouin on board.
