Defence
Drouin defensive game is improving but is the weakest part of his game. He has a hard time with bigger forwards and needs to bulk up to compete in all areas of the ice at the NHL level.

Jonathan Drouin should be a 1st line winger with potential to be point per game plus scorer. He has bounced around in the top 3 prospect projections all season actually being #1 for some time. I see Drouin being selected #3 overall
