5 plays proving Montreal should be stoked about landing Drouin

You've heard by now: Jonathan Drouin is a Montreal Canadien.

The electrifying winger was acquired by the Habs - the team Drouin grew up adoring - in a blockbuster deal Thursday afternoon, and based on his skill level, it shouldn't take long for the 22-year-old to become a fan favorite.

Drouin has certainly endured his fair share of criticism through his young career, but there's no denying the kid can flat-out dazzle, and below are five plays from his tenure in Tampa that should have Bleu, Blanc et Rouge supporters salivating.

Extraordinary vision

The seam was incredibly narrow.

Give Drouin an inch, and he'll take a mile, as evidenced by this ridiculous cross-seam pass to set up a Lightning goal.

Hard work pays off

It's tough to picture a more impressive shift at the NHL level. Drouin, when motivated, can do it all.

Pin-point precision

Jonathan Drouin is a magician. Love how he realizes that's a forward trying to defend him, then just goes and attacks him with the puck. pic.twitter.com/lndn2eP3zN

Again, he doesn't need a lot of room to make things happen. Drouin's shot might not be the hardest, but he can place it anywhere he chooses, which has proven to be a deadly asset - just ask Peter Budaj.

Just get him the puck

There he goes again, dominating everybody on the ice.

Speed kills

As San Jose learned the hard way last season, trying to contain Drouin with a full head of steam can be a nightmare.
