Avalanche's Jonathan Drouin: Finds twine Thursday
Jonathan Drouin scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 3-1 preseason win over the Golden Knights.Drouin opened the scoring at 11:44 of the first period on a pass from Nathan MacKinnon. That's a combination that could happen frequently in 2024-25, especially early in the year before Gabriel Landeskog (knee) or Artturi Lehkonen (shoulder) are available. Drouin wasn't a full-time member of the top-line last year, but his success there and on the power play led him to a career year of 56 points in 79 regular-season contests. If Drouin can stay on the top line, he'll provide excellent value for fantasy managers.

Avalanche's Jonathan Drouin: Staying put with one-year deal
Jonathan Drouin signed a one-year contract with the Colorado Avalanche on Monday. The agreement is reportedly worth $2.5 million, according to Aarif Deen of Mile High Sports.Provided those reported financial terms are accurate, this is a great deal for Colorado after Drouin supplied 19 goals and 56 points, including 19 points with the man advantage, in 79 regular-season contests with the Avalanche in 2023-24. Drouin is likely to serve in a top-six capacity in 2024-25 just as he did last season, but with Casey Mittelstadt gearing up for his first full campaign in Colorado, there's also a chance that the Avalanche will experiment with using Drouin as the third-line center.

Avalanche's Jonathan Drouin: Adds power-play helper
Jonathan Drouin logged a power-play assist in Friday's 2-1 double-overtime loss to the Stars in Game 6.Drouin had a helper in all three of his playoff appearances, including two on the power play. The 29-year-old missed the first eight contests of the postseason due to a lower-body injury, but that was his only extended absence of the campaign. Drouin had a career-high 56 points in 79 regular-season outings while playing on a one-year, $825,000 contract. It's safe to assume his next deal will be at a higher cap hit, though it's unclear if the Colorado Avalanche will have the space to bring him back in 2024-25. If not, he should have a significant audience in free agency.
