For Jonathan Drouin, consistency will come from better offensive habits

There is not a more intriguing player on the Montreal Canadiens than Jonathan Drouin. Certain nights, he seems to possess all the skill in the world; on others, he is almost invisible failing to make an impact.

Before the 2013 draft, Drouin was considered by some to be a candidate for the number one overall pick. He was just coming off of a monster season with the Halifax Mooseheads, scoring 41 goals and 64 assists in 49 games. The fact that he ended up being selected after his teammate, Nathan MacKinnon, and Finnish centre Aleksander Barkov didn’t take away from his talent — the Tampa Bay Lightning certainly thought they had gotten an impact forward for years to come with their selection.
