Jonathan Drouin alongside Nathan MacKinnon

That’s it: Training camps are underway in the NHL. In the Canadian, this morning, there were already players who clashed and there will be others this afternoon.

It feels good, doesn’t it?

But it’s not just CH that’s preparing. Elsewhere in the NHL, we can also get news on what’s going on between former CH players for whom things are going less well (on paper, at least) and those for whom things are going well.

And on this topic, let’s talk about Jonathan Drouin.

When Jonathan Drouin signed in Colorado (despite lucrative offers elsewhere), we suspected Nathan MacKinnon was behind it all. After all, the two made it rain and shine in Halifax, in the QMJHL.

Seeing Drouin sign up in Denver probably opened the door to seeing them play together…and It happened This morning. Obviously this could change, but that is the case for now.

During the summer, we would sometimes see young people skating together. However, everyone knows that there is a limit to saying, in mid-July, that the two partners will play together on the basis of informal practices.

But when a coach brings them together as part of formal camp training, that’s even more proof.

10 years after their Memorial Cup win, they’re in a different place (Nathan MacKinnon has the highest average salary in the NHL this year… and Jonathan Drouin is making less than $1 million), but if they get their chemistry back? be careful.

This morning, it was Mikko Rantanen who was on their right. Will this trio be the club’s first in October? Owns.

Let’s also remember that Artturi Lehkonen and Tomas Tatar are also in Denver at the moment. We can think that the first will play on the second line and that the second will be in the bottom 6. As with Drouin, things can change quickly, Sir said.

When will there be a threesome with all three together? Drouin in the center – Oh and let it happen.

a lot of

– Oh boy.

Only Nick Cousins ​​is missing as power play coach 😂
